Ingredients
Scale
For the Asian Slaw:
- 1/4 green cabbage
- 1/4 purple cabbage
- 2 Persian cucumbers
- 2 stalks of green onion
For the Sesame Dressing:
- 4 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 4 tbsp rice vinegar
- 4 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sweetener (such as white sugar)
Garnish:
- Black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Sesame Dressing: In a bowl, combine the toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, sweetener, and red chili flakes (if using). Whisk until the sweetener is dissolved. Set the dressing aside.
- Slice the Vegetables: Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, thinly slice the green and purple cabbage, Persian cucumbers, and green onion. Aim for delicate, paper-thin slices to maximize the crunch and texture.
- Combine and Refrigerate: Place the sliced vegetables into a large bowl. Pour the prepared sesame dressing over them. Gently toss everything together until the dressing evenly coats the slaw. Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to chill.
- Serve and enjoy.
