    What Is The Difference Between Coleslaw And Slaw?

    Variations For Asian Slaw Salad

    Add ramen noodles- This adds even more texture and crunch. Use it as a topping, prior to serving.

    Honey substitute- Try maple syrup or agave syrup.

    Use toasted seeds and nuts- Because this adds even more flavor and aroma.

    Make it spicy- Add more sriracha sauce or add red chili flakes.

    Add mayo- For a creamy version.

    Make it gluten free- Use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce, or use a gluten free soy sauce.

    Add fruit- Such as fresh mangoes or pineapples.

    Try other nuts- Such as almonds or walnuts.

    Add other vegetables– Such as cauliflower, broccoli or brussel sprouts.

    Add shredded coconut– For some texture and flavor.

    Pickled slaw– Mix in some pickled carrots and veggies or this Homemade Kimchi for a fermented version.

    Tips And Techniques For Oriental/Chinese Coleslaw

    Why is my slaw soggy? The vegetables will begin to release water, as the slaw sits. Serve it immediately to prevent this from happening.

    Why is my slaw dry? This means you need more dressing or it has all settled to the bottom of the bowl. Mix it up first, and if it is still dry, add more dressing.

    Resting time is important- Because this allows the flavors to marinate and really develop. Don't marinate for too long because that will lead to a soggy mess. 15-20 minutes is sufficient.

    Adjust seasoning– Add more or less according to your personal preference.

    Serve a crowd– Make a bigger batch by doubling or even tripling all the ingredients to feed a lot of people.

    Adjust the amount of dressing– Add more or less depending on your preference.

    Storage

    Make ahead instructions– Make the dressing and keep it separately from the vegetables in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Then, toss everything together and enjoy.

    Refrigerate– Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container for up to 2 days, but the vegetables won’t be as crunchy anymore.

    Freeze– You can not freeze this dish because of the water content in the veggies. They will not thaw well, and the texture will be very unappetizing and it will be a soggy mess.
