Sesame Ginger Slaw Recipe
Sesame Ginger Slaw - a light, refreshing and flavorful sesame ginger slaw recipe that is perfect for tacos or as its own side dish!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups green cabbage chopped
- 1 cup purple cabbage chopped
- 1 cup carrots julienned
- ½ cup green onions sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
Sesame Ginger Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce sub tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil sub avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon ginger minced
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon fish sauce
Instructions
- Mix Slaw: In a medium bowl, add 1 ½ cups green cabbage, 1 cup purple cabbage, 1 cup carrots, and ½ cup green onions.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 teaspoon coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon lime juice, ¼ teaspoon ginger, ¼ teaspoon sesame oil, and ¼ teaspoon fish sauce; whisk to combine. Taste and add any additional soy sauce, ginger, lime juice, garlic, etc. as desired.
- Combine: Pour the Sauce over the Slaw and stir to combine. For best results, let sit for about 15-30 minutes, then serve.
- Serve: Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds right before you serve.
Notes
- Whole30: simply omit the coconut sugar and use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
- Sauce: we love using our sesame ginger dressing, but a homemade peanut sauce or simple spicy mayo might also be nice for an interesting spin on the classic Asian slaw.
- Making ahead of time: you can easily prep this ahead of time - whether you want to combine the slaw and sauce ahead of time is up to you. As the slaw sits in the sauce, it does get a little less crunchy (which some people like). Just be aware of it. You can always make the sauce and slaw ahead of time and keep them separate, then combine about 30 minutes before serving. Totally up to you!
- Serving Suggestions: we love using this in Pork Belly Tacos and Pulled Pork Tacos! But it is also really good on its own!
