Here's a fabulous new twist on an old standby. For a sweet version, leave out the carrot and add a cup of diced fresh pineapple.

Ingredients

Sesame seeds

2 tbsp(s)

Unseasoned rice vinegar

¼ cup(s)

Canola oil

3 tbsp(s)

Miso

2 tbsp(s), white-variety

Sugar

1 tbsp(s)

Low sodium soy sauce

1 tsp(s)

Minced garlic

1 tsp(s)

Uncooked Chinese cabbage

½ head(s), also known as Napa, cut into thin shreds (about 8 cups)

Shredded carrots

2 cup(s)

Red bell pepper

1 large, cut into very thin strips (about 2 cups)

Uncooked scallions

½ cup(s), sliced

Instructions

  1. To toast sesame seeds, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and cook, stirring often until lightly browned, about 2 minutes; remove seeds from pan and allow to cool.
  2. In a large serving bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, miso, sugar, soy sauce and garlic until blended. Add remaining ingredients, except 1 tablespoon each of toasted sesame seeds and scallions, and toss to mix and coat. Sprinkle slaw with remaining sesame seeds and scallions. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.

Notes

Because Napa cabbage is rather delicate, this slaw is best made just a few hours before serving. All of the ingredients can be prepped the day before but we suggest that you toss them with the dressing just an hour or two before eating.
