Notes

Asian Cabbage Slaw Tips:
  • Mix dressing in the salad or separately for more uniform flavor.
  • Slaw's texture softens over time; for crunch, serve immediately, or for tenderness, chill overnight.
  • Ideal as a side or a topping for burgers and sandwiches.
Chinese Coleslaw Substitutions:
  • Cabbage: Use one type or substitute with bok choy; add firm veggies or sweet fruits as desired.
  • Cilantro: Omit or swap with parsley; use a splash of citrus as an alternative.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Substitute with rice vinegar, adjusting sweetness as needed.
  • Sugar: Replace with honey, warming slightly for better integration.
  • Sesame Oil: Essential for flavor; if left out, use sesame seeds with a neutral oil.
