Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium-sized, about 1.5 pounds) Napa cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the Napa cabbage, wash thoroughly, and pat dry. Slice the cabbage into thin shreds and place in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.
Finely slice the green onions and chop the fresh cilantro. Add both to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture in the large mixing bowl, and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top as a garnish if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
