Warm Asian-Style Slaw

Dinner, Salad, Sides, vegan, Vegetarian, VegetablesTove Balle-PedersenComment

I love a crunchy slaw. Normally I use napa cabbage and a spicy asian-style dressing, like I used in the angry tacos. But adding the peanut butter to this warm slaw, gives the slaw a nice creaminess. 

This slaw will be perfect for a weekend BBQ, or served with tacos with an asian twist.

Serves 3-4.

Ingredients:

Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons grated Serrano pepper
  • 4 tablespoons creamy peanutbutter

Slaw:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • ½ small red cabbage
  • ¼ green cabbage
  • ½ english cucumber, julienned
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • some fresh coriander, chopped
  • season with salt

Directions:

Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing, set aside.

Heat the oil in a wok. Sauté carrots while stirring for about a minute,  add the cabbage and keep stirring, while cooking for about 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and add the rest of the ingredients and dressing, tossing well to coat.

Serve immediately. 

Enjoy!
