Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1.5 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. Toss them together until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, wasabi paste, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Add the sliced scallions and gently fold them into the coleslaw for a hint of fresh, mild onion flavor.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more wasabi for heat, vinegar for tanginess, or honey for sweetness.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds for added texture and a nutty flavor.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
