Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
- 0.25 cups Ponzu sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoons Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage into fine shreds. Place both in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrots. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely chop the green onions, both the white and green parts, and mix them into the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the ponzu sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and grated ginger.
Season the dressing with kosher salt and black pepper, then mix until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, tossing everything thoroughly to ensure even coating.
In a small dry skillet, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Add the toasted almonds to the slaw and toss lightly to combine.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top of the slaw as a garnish.
Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes for enhanced flavor before serving.
