Provided by Food Network

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
1/2 cup finely shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 fresh lime, juiced
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large sweet potatoes
4 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for sauteing
2 (8-ounce) tempeh cakes
2 cups water
1 cup lite soy sauce
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Asian Slaw: Combine green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots and toss in a medium serving bowl. Whisk together rice wine vinegar, sugar, lime juice, ground ginger, and salt and pour over salad mixture. Toss and chill until serving.
  • Sweet Potato Wedges: Cut each sweet potato into eighths. With a pastry brush, coat each piece lightly with canola oil. Bake in a preheated 425 degree F oven for 20 minutes or until tender. Set aside and keep warm until serving.
  • Tempeh: Cut each tempeh cake in half and then cut each piece in two lengthwise. You should end up with 4 semi-square pieces. Score each piece on both sides, diagonally, about 1/8-inch deep. Repeat scoring in opposite direction to create a diamond pattern. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to boil, add tempeh cakes, and steam for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and place tempeh in a flat bowl or square baking pan and pour soy sauce over top, making sure each piece gets coated. Let set for 5 minutes.
  • Arrange tempeh on lightly oiled baking sheet. With a pastry brush, lightly coat the top of each tempeh cake, top and bottom, with barbecue sauce.
  • Caramelized Onions: In a medium non-stick skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat and add sliced onion. Saute onion until translucent, add the brown sugar, and continue cooking another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Assembly: Place 1 or 2 slices of BBQ tempeh in a whole grain sandwich bun. Top with caramelized onions. Place on a plate with 4 sweet potato wedges and a serving of Asian slaw. Have a small bowl of barbecue sauce on the side.
  • Beverage suggestion: Loose and/or bag Green Tea

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups peeled and shredded uncooked sweet potatoes
1 medium apple, peeled and chopped
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients; blend until smooth.
  • In large bowl, combine potatoes, apples, pineapples and pecans.
  • Add the dressing and toss to coat.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes: Orange, purple, and white sweet potatoes offer different flavors and textures, so using a mix can create a more interesting slaw.
  • Shred the sweet potatoes finely: This will help them absorb the dressing and become more tender.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: A good dressing can make or break a slaw. Try using a combination of vinegar, oil, and spices, or experiment with different types of yogurt-based dressings.
  • Add some crunch: Nuts, seeds, and chopped vegetables can add a nice crunch to sweet potato slaw. Try adding almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, or chopped celery, carrots, or radishes.
  • Let the slaw marinate: Allowing the slaw to marinate for at least 30 minutes will help the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can marinate the slaw for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better it will taste.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato slaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and sweet flavor, sweet potato slaw is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
