ORIGINAL OLD BAY® COLESLAW



Original Old Bay® Coleslaw image

This recipe used to be printed on the Old Bay® cans, but it was removed a decade or more ago; it is very different than the one on the current Old Bay website. I much prefer this one and even today occasionally see a posting from someone looking for the old recipe from the Old Bay can. Well, here it is!

2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat that has been thawed.
  • Shred the cabbage and carrots as thinly as possible. This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the slaw. Over-mixing will make the slaw mushy.
  • Chill the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the slaw with a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Conclusion:

Vietnamese crab coleslaw is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is made with fresh crab meat, shredded cabbage and carrots, and a tangy dressing made with fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. The slaw is easy to make and can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is also a great way to use up leftover crab meat.
