I guarantee when you taste this you will be making this all the time! If you are not a lover of sesame oil then just use 6 tablespoons vegetable oil, to make things easier you may use packaged coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw, I suggest to pour the dressing onto only the salad you will be using right away as it tends to get soggy if left in the fridge with the full amount of dressing ;-)
Ingredients:
8 cups green cabbage, shredded
2 cups red cabbage, shredded
2 red bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
2 carrots (peeled and finely julienned)
6 -7 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
black pepper (optional and to taste)
chopped peanuts (or use toasted ramen noodles or toasted sunflower seeds, see note on bottom)
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons peanut butter (use semi-heaping tablespoons)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (if you are a garlic-lover then use 1-1/2 tablespoons)
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients until well blended.
2. In a large bowl toss together cabbage, red bell peppers, carrots, green onions and cilantro.
3. Pour the dressing over and toss to combine.
4. Season with black pepper if desired.
5. Top with chopped peanuts.
6. *NOTE* if you are using ramen noodles they must be toasted to avoid turning soggy in the coleslaw.
7. Slightly chop the noodles.
8. Place on a baking sheet.
9. Bake at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes, tossing once or twice while baking.
