Ingredients

For the Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes based on spiciness
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey

For the Slaw:

  • 1/2 head green cabbage about 6 cups shredded
  • 1/2 head purple cabbage about 6 cups shredded
  • 2 medium carrots about 1 cup shredded
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions about 1 bunch
  • 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (based on how spicy you'd like it) in a small saucepan over medium heat for two minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons honey until combined. Set aside to cool.
  • Using a sharp knife or food processor, thinly slice 1/2 head green cabbage and 1/2 head purple cabbage, removing and discarding the cores. Separate some of the leaves before slicing to avoid thick pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Shred 2 medium carrots using a cheese grater or food processor. Prepare 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup sliced green onions, and finely chop 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts. Add to the bowl with the cabbage.
  • Pour the cooled dressing over the slaw. Using tongs, toss until well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Want your coleslaw to last longer? To keep the cabbage from weeping, place the shredded cabbage in a colander and toss with 1 teaspoon salt. Let sweat 1 to 4 hours. Rinse with cold water and pat completely dry.
