    A good slaw made exceptional by the delicious ginger-sesame-miso dressing.

    Really excellent, fresh, crunchy, exciting salad. I served this with grilled pork tenderloin I had marinated with Thai aromatics and rice noodles.

    Great slaw recipe! I have now made it twice in the past two weeks. Week one I made it as a side, and then had leftovers for lunch with shredded chicken; week 2 I made it for a potluck dinner and it was a big hit. I really like that it's a creamy but not mayo-based slaw, so it can sit out at room temperature if need be.

    Delicious! And very colorful, I loved it.

    Great slaw! I’ve made this a couple of times. The Thai chile in the dressing adds the perfect little hint of heat.

    Progressive dinner salad course 2025: I made this omitting the chile and reducing the vinegar. I also subbed 2 T ginger v.in place of part and only 1 T of rice wine v., otherwise as written. Served over a salad consisting of Napa and plain cabbage, various crisp lettuces, mint, cilantro, endive, cucumbers, radishes, and blanched snap peas, asparagus, haricot vert. Topped with sesame seeds, toasted almonds, sliced apples and sliced persimmon, and marinated tofu. Rave reviews.

    I didn't add in sesame seeds and peanuts, but it still has a punchy flavour. It also keeps very well in the fridge.

    Great slaw--loved the creamy sesame-ginger dressing. Used 1/2 fresh jalapeno, next time I will use a whole (or pickle Thai chilis) Followed recipe exactly. I think you could turn this into an entree salad by adding some chicken. Lots of possibilities

  • Dlmccabe on October 12, 2025

    Made as she suggested but will omit the cilantro next time. Also thinking it would be good with a little minced crystallized ginger added in.

  • averythingcooks on October 02, 2025

    She is right...the creamy sesame-ginger dressing (pg 119) makes a great coleslaw. I used some of her suggestions (cabbage, grated carrot, scallions & sesame seeds) + some of my preferences (thinly sliced red peppers, red onions, celery & a spoonful of grated beet chutney).
