ASIAN SALAD / COLE SLAW / CHINESE COLE SLAW - LIGHT
I adapted this recipe from #54866 and had so many tweaks and changes from the original that I needed to put this one down so I could remember it all. I've omitted alot of the oil from the original to lighten it up. This is great for summer time BBQ's as a side dish. Or grill some chicken and you've got a Chinese Chicken Salad.

Steps:
- Prepare Salad.
- 1) slice cabbage into small bite size pieces.
- 2) Add garlic, ginger, green onions, and carrots. Toss to combine.
- Note: If you are making ahead of time, place this salad mixture in a ziploc bag or covered storage bowl. It will keep in the refrigerator for about 4 days or longer depending on how you store it.
- Prepare Crunchies.
- 1) Break the ramen noodles into pieces, but not too small that you loose the look of the noodle. Spread flat on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
- 2) Sprinkle over the top - Sunflower & Sesame seeds and slice almonds. Mist with Olive Oil mister to lightly coat.
- 3) Place pan under the broiler until lightly toasted. Stir gently if needed. This will happen pretty fast, so don't let them burn. Once brown remove from oven to cool.
- Note: If preparing ahead of time, once cooled place crunchies in a ziploc bag.
- Prepare Sauce.
- 1) Place all ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens to a syrup like consistency. Keep stirring so it doesn't burn.
- Note: If preparing ahead of time you have two options. One is the make the sauce and refrigerate it in a container. Just prior to serving you can reheat the sauce in the micowave or allow it to come to room temp to toss it. OR you can just make the sauce the day of.
- Another option if you have a small family. Keep all 3 parts separate and toss just prior to serving. The salad and crunchies will keep for several days. I will slightly heat the sauce in the microwave so that it's not so thick and will toss easily. I'll just toss a bowl or two at a time and the rest will keep.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw more crisp and flavorful.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor to grate the cabbage and carrots. Just be careful not to over-process them, or they will become too mushy.
- Use a light hand when dressing the coleslaw. You don't want to overdress it, or it will become soggy. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more as needed.
- Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to soak into the cabbage and carrots.
- Serve the coleslaw as a side dish with grilled or fried meats, fish, or tofu. It's also a great topping for tacos, sandwiches, and wraps.
Conclusion:
Asian coleslaw is a light, refreshing, and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and crunchy texture, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give Asian coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
