CRUNCHY ASIAN RAMEN COLE SLAW



Crunchy Asian Ramen Cole Slaw image

I recieved this recipe from my future sister-inlaw, Amy. She got the recipe from her aunt Diana. My family loves this slaw. I chilled my slaw sauce before using while preparing the other ingredients. When I made this I used white vinegar (I do not recommend Apple Cider Vinegar). I recommend using good quality Ramen noodles no off brands. I also use Sunkist Almond Accents roasted garlic caesar flavored sliced almonds. I also allowed my browned noodles, almonds and seeds to cool before mixing into the shredded slaw. Diana says "Do not pour sauce onto slaw mix until ready to serve or the noodles will become soggy".

CRUNCHY RED CABBAGE SLAW SALAD



Crunchy Red Cabbage Slaw Salad image

Another recipe that I collected with an eye to eating healthier. I think red cabbage is underused anyway. If you threw some cooked chicken in with this if you wanted a bit more substance in this light meal. You could also more than likely use light mayo to make it even lower in fat. This is from British TV cook Silvana Franco and was first published in the July 2006 issue of BBC Good Food Magazine.

MIKE MILLS' CRUNCHY COLE SLAW ? (A VARIATION IT INSPIRED)



Mike Mills' Crunchy Cole Slaw ? (A Variation It Inspired) image

In his book "Peace, Love, & Barbecue" (a highly recommended buy) Mike shares a recipe for a simple vinegar-based slaw that is very popular at his 17th Street Bar & Grill. I love that it stays crunchy even if not used right away. (I've had it keep well up to a week.) His recipe makes enough for 10-12, and since there are ONLY two slaw lovers in the house, it is a bit too much except for big holidays. I would definitely use HIS recipe in the book for festive gatherings! So inspired by it, I have adapted & changed it for convenience (use slaw mix) and a smaller quantity. It is a key ingredient in my favorite new sandwich... The Young Reuben. Make your favorite Reuben but substitute this "young" slaw for the "aged" sauerkraut! I suspect a respectable "creamy" slaw could be made using this recipe by adding a little mayo or sour cream to taste & reducing the amount of vinegar by at least half.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) bag tri-color deli coleslaw mix (Carrots, Green Cabbage, Red Cabbage)
2 -3 tablespoons green bell peppers, chopped
1/4 cup onion, chopped (I prefer Red or Vidalia)
1 cup apple cider vinegar (for a bit milder bite, I use half Cider and half White Vinegar)
1 cup sugar (or use sugar substitute of choice, to taste... I have used half-cup sugar and Stevia equivalent, to )
3 teaspoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon celery seed (more if desired)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Combine the slaw mix, bell pepper, and onion in a large mixing bowl & mix well. (Be sure to use one large enough to allow mixing well while adding the dressing.).
  • Prepare the dressing by mixing together all the ingredients in a 2-cup measuring cup and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Pour 1/3 of the dressing onto the slaw & mix well.
  • Repeat adding the dressing and mixing well until all dressing is used.
  • This dressing will draw moisture from the slaw mix over time so do not worry that the slaw is not flooded with dressing. Just stir the slaw in the bowl several times to assure good marination -- or agitate several times in a storage container to mix the slaw with the dressing.
  • Cooking time is chill time -- minimum of 2 hours before serving!
  • This will serve hearty slaw eaters 4 servings.

CRUNCHY PEANUT SLAW



Crunchy Peanut Slaw image

Gotta love this crunchy cabbage slaw. It is super simple mix of cabbage, peanuts, and rice vinegar with oil. It's all in how you cut the cabbage: it should be light and feathery, delicate and yet satisfying at the same time. Modified from Apartment Therapy. LOVE IT!

Provided by Kimke

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium head green cabbage, outer leaves removed
1 1/2 cups unsalted peanuts
2 bunches green onions
1 1/2 cups chopped cilantro
salt and pepper
1/2 cup light oil, like canola
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar (or more, to taste)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce (or more, to taste)

Steps:

  • Shred the cabbage very finely. The fineness of the shredded cabbage is really what makes this salad; you want it in in threads, almost, and with the threads chopped into bite-size lengths.
  • Toss with the peanuts in a large bowl.
  • Chop the green onions, including the green and white parts.
  • Toss the onions and chopped cilantro with the cabbage, seasoning very lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk the dressing until emulsified, then taste and adjust to your own preferences of sweetness and saltiness.
  • Toss with the cabbage. Garnish with a few more peanuts and serve.
