I'd like to share a recipe that has become a current favourite: Asian Slaw. I love purple cabbage but always end up making it one way, cooked German-style, with apple and onion, lots of salt, pepper and vinegar. This delicious raw slaw is courtesy of Chef Deb's The Fridge Whisperer http://thefridgewhisperer.ca/fridge/ I find it keeps really well.
half a large head of purple cabbage, cored sliced thinly
1 large carrot, shredded
¼ cup thinly sliced yellow onion
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
⅓ cup seasoned rice vinegar (or same amount regular rice vinegar + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seed oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha or other type of Asian hot sauce
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
• In a large bowl, toss together all ingredients until well combined, cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 3 hours for optimum flavour before serving.
