Asian coleslaw

Cabbage doesn’t have to be the brown boiled stuff of kids’ nightmares. Try serving it fresh and finely sliced and use pretty baby purple and green cabbages for a milder, less intrusive flavour and texture. This Asian-style coleslaw is as fresh as it gets and is bound to change the way you think about cabbage.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 carrots
1 baby green cabbage
1 baby purple cabbage
1 red onion
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
5cm grated ginger
1 finely chopped chilli
1-2 tsp caster sugar
Fresh mint

Method

Grate the carrots into a mixing bowl. Finely slice the cabbages and add to the mixing bowl, along with the sliced red onion.

To make the Asian-style dressing, whisk together the vinegar, grated ginger, chilli and caster sugar. Pour over the coleslaw and stir carefully to dress.

Garnish with fresh mint.
