Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrots (or grate them if preferred) and add to the bowl with the cabbage.
Slice the green onions finely and mix them into the bowl with the other vegetables.
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth to create the dressing.
Pour the sesame dressing over the vegetables and toss well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top of the coleslaw and gently toss again to incorporate.
Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish, or use it as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or grilled proteins.
