HOT AND SOUR SLAW



Hot and Sour Slaw image

Bok choy is in the cabbage family, and is very popular in China. In this recipe, it is shredded to resemble a coleslaw, but that is where the resemblance to that creamy classic ends. This dish is very spicy and full of flavor. It not only tastes great, but is strangely fun to eat. If you have chile paste, use 2 teaspoons of that instead of the red pepper flakes.

ABSOLUTELY BEST HOT SLAW RECIPE



Absolutely BEST Hot Slaw Recipe image

This is the exact hot slaw recipe from the world famous Forest View Gardens that used to be in Cincinnati. Unfortunately the place closed down years ago but that won't stop you from recreating the exact recipe they used in your own kitchen! What I have below is precisely the quantities and procedure we used for large scale production for a lot of people. If you are doing a smaller party or dinner, you can adjust the amounts accordingly. Keep in mind that the excess dressing can be refrigerated. Tips: Do not let this hot slaw sit around with dressing in it. It must be fresh! Don't over fill the bowl with dressing. I personally like just enough dressing to wet the cabbage and bacon and not a drop more. Make a whole gallon of dressing and bacon bits and store what you don't use for later. At Forest View Gardens, we made 30 gallons of dressing and 200 pounds of bacon bits on Thursday and it lasted the whole week!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cabbages. This will give your slaw a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of green cabbage, red cabbage, and savoy cabbage.
  • Shred your cabbage thinly. This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut your vegetables. This will help prevent them from bruising and will give your slaw a cleaner look.
  • Be careful not to overdress your slaw. A little dressing goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Let your slaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and will make the slaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Hot and sour slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new side dish to try, give hot and sour slaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
