Asian Slaw

*Made for the February 2019 Asian Recipe Challenge*

So, I made this a day ahead of time to go with Janet's Spicy Thai Shrimp With Coconut Dip which I have made before, but wanted to make again for the "Asian Challenge" and to get it into the IMI II. Last minute I realized I didn't have the coconut milk, which I swore I had! So I just winged my shrimp last minute, but this slaw is delicious!! I was happy it didn't have added sugar, which most Asian slaw's have. I do have to say it makes WAAAAAY too much slaw dressing. Like 3 times too much. It was like soup and I had to pour a lot of it out after mixing so the slaw didn't just sit in it getting soggy. That is my only fault with this recipe. I could eat this for days :)

Your photo is lovely Michelle! A shame on the excess dressing, but once noted, you'd be good to go in future. White Balsamic Vinegar is a bit of an odd ingredient for an Asian slaw but it all sounds most scrumptious and it's certainly very colourful! YUM!

Gorgeous photo Michelle! Both recipes look delicious. Hmmm on it making too much dressing but good to know so can make less dressing and not waste ingredients.

Thank you everyone! I was also thinking the white balsamic was strange Janet, but it worked :)

I am not sure why you ended up with so much dressing.. I have a couple ideas. I've made it before and I have had to pour out some of the dressing as well. Salt from the dressing can make napa cabbage leach water. I have made the dressing and added it a little at a time over the course of an hour or so and was able to control the amount of liquid. I have also salted my cabbage and cucumbers, let them set and rinsed off the salt. let them dry and then tossed them in. That reduced alot of the liquid. That step is a bit of extra work though. Changing the cabbage would work too. The white balsamic was my replacement for sugar. Thanks for trying this!!! So glad you enjoyed it.
