Asian Coleslaw
Published in Salads
This is a very different coleslaw that works well with slightly bland food like fish or chicken, or with S E Asian curries.
Ingredients: Salad:
- 250 g shredded white cabbage
- 1 small – medium carrot, grated
- 2 tbl Asian pickled ginger, finely diced
- 4 tbl chopped dhania
- 2 tbl spring onions, finely sliced
Ingredients: Dressing:
- 3 – 4 tbl light soy sauce
- 1 tbl peanut butter
- 1 tbl sugar
- 2 tbl lime juice
- ½ tsp chilli powder (optional)
Preparation:
- Combine cabbage, carrot and ginger, and stir to mix.
- Whisk together all the dressing ingredients thoroughly. Pour over the salad, and toss to mix.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours to blend the flavours. Just before serving, stir and taste. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary, and stir in the dhania and spring onions.
- Give this salad a special finish by shredding a packet of won-ton* or spring roll wrappers* and deep frying in batches until crisp and golden brown. Drain and sprinkle generously with salt. Pile on top of the salad and serve immediately.
Serves 4 – 6.
