Simple Asian Coleslaw with Sesame Dressing

Print Recipe

A delightful and colorful coleslaw featuring a mix of shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions, all topped with a homemade sesame dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Veggies: Start by washing and preparing your veggies. Take your head of green cabbage and slice it into quarters. Remove the core and finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
  2. Shred the Carrots: Next, grab your carrots! If you’re using whole carrots, peel them first and then shred them using a grater or mandoline.
  3. Chop the Green Onions: Now, let’s bring in those green onions. Chop them into thin slices, using both the white and green parts.
  4. Mix the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, combine the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined.
  5. Combine Everything: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss everything together.
  6. Final Touches: Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the slaw and give it one last gentle toss.
  7. Let It Chill: If you can, let the coleslaw sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the slaw to a serving dish and enjoy as a refreshing side.

Notes

Feel free to add jalapeños for heat or mix in fruits like mango for a sweeter twist. The coleslaw can be made ahead of time; just add the dressing before serving to keep it crisp.
