Ingredients

  • 2 (16 ounce) bags coleslaw mix (with carrots and red cabbage)
  • 1 bunch scallion, trimmed, sliced thinly
  • 1 small red onion, halved, sliced thin
  • Dressing
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 lemon, juice of
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar (or white or rice vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)
  • fresh ground black pepper (recipe calls for 20 grinds!)

Method

  • Toss the coleslaw mix together with the scallions and red onion in a large bowl until everthing is well mixed. You can make the slaw up to this point up to a day in advance as long as you keep it refrigerated.
  • When ready to serve, bring the slaw back to room temperature. Stir the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl until blended or shake together in a sealable plastic container.
  • Taste for salt and add a couple pinches if needed. Pour over the slaw, toss well, and serve within 1 hour or it will get wilted.
