Secret Recipe Club: Chinese Cole Slaw
I love Cole Slaw and so when I saw the recipe for Chinese Cole Slaw I knew that was the one I'd try. I love cole slaw, I love chinese....yep, this was a good fit!
It was super easy and very yummy. I did a few things differently and there was one thing I should have done differently. In the end it was a very good choice and I think it would be yummy with some salmon. I will share the recipe and then share what I did.

Ingredients
1/4 c. rice vinegar
2 Tbl. soy sauce (low sodium okay)
2 tsp. honey
2 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. dark sesame oil
1 Tbl. vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 Tbl. fresh lime juice
1/2 of a 16 oz. bag of fresh coleslaw mix (pre-shredded carrot and cabbage)
2 tsp. sesame seeds
1/4 c. slivered almonds, toasted (optional)
In a cup whisk together the first 8 ingredients to make the dressing.
Top with sesame seeds and almonds. Pour on dressing and toss to coat. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
**I had cabbage at home as well as carrots so I made my own "shredded" mix. I used both purple and green.
**I also didn't have slivered almonds, but had whole almonds, so I just coarsely chopped them, then toasted them.
**I am not a huge fan of ginger (even though I love Chinese food) and when I saw that the recipe called for 2 teaspoons of it, I thought to myself that I should just add less...A LOT less. BUT I didn't. I should have. It was too strong for me. I added a bit more honey to try to tone it down and it worked a little bit. So note to MYSELF, less ginger. If you LOVE ginger, go for it!

Kirstin, it is I who should be thanking YOU! Your photos are awesome! I'll have to find pre-shredded cole slaw with more red cabbage in the future.
ReplyDeleteI love cole slaw, too, so I'm going to give this recipe a try! In the last year, I've found a "like" in ginger that I'd never had before. Great pick for the SRC!
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I LOVE coleslaw but never made my own. I'd love to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! I love Asian flavors! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
This looks somewhat similar to my husband's favorite coleslaw salad. I should try this version, sounds yummy. And your pictures are awesome! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteIm crazy for coleslaw and ginger so this looks perfect for me!

Thanks for stopping by, I was just making my way through the blog hop. This looks really refreshing and tasty! I'm with you on the ginger so will take note :)
ReplyDeleteGreat SRC recipe, this looks delicious!! :)
ReplyDeleteStopping in from SRC. This looks like a fantastic coleslaw recipe... I like the Asian spin. So different from traditional coleslaw. Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteLove the ingredients in the dressing. I do coleslaw quite close to this one, should try the almonds and rice vinegar.
ReplyDeleteThat coleslaw looks delicious. SRC is a great way to learn about so many different cuisines. Love those lovely colours & flavours.
ReplyDeleteThis might be a fun thing to make and then put on pulled pork burgers (or sliders). It'd give them a bit of a twist rather than normal slaw. What fun!
ReplyDeleteooo this would go really well with a Asian inspired turkey burger recipe I make. I'll have to keep this in mind for next time.
ReplyDeleteReally delicious recipe. As per ingredients, we no need more items to bake this recipe at home. My mouth is still watering. I can't wait to enjoy it.
