Spicy Asian Coleslaw - recipe

Asian Coleslaw with Spicy Soy Sesame Dressing Recipe

 “I love this tasty Asian version of a coleslaw – I make it every time I’m tasked with a potluck dish. There’s lots of chopping involved, but if you have a machine that can do that, it’s a doddle.
– Sunita Bett

Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 3-4 cups coleslaw (grated carrots, finely sliced green and red cabbage)
  • 1 cup precooked frozen edamame (shelled soybeans)
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 small radishes, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Spicy soy sesame dressing (see below)
  • Slivered almonds
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven-spice blend)

For the dressing:

  • ¼ cup light soy sauce
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (or substitute peanut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1-2 tablespoons shichimi togarashi or red chilli flakes
  • Salt and sugar to taste

Directions

1. Put the soybeans in a bowl and cover with boiling water, leave for a few minutes then drain and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
2. Make the spicy soy sesame dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.
3. In a large bowl, mix all the vegetables together with a generous amount of the dressing and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
4. Just before serving, add extra dressing, toasted sesame seeds, almonds and chilli flakes.
