Fab Asian "Slaw"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

As other reviewers mentioned, I almost hate to use the word slaw, as most people associate it with a "bad" experience! I have... used this recipe for years now. Tonight I used regular store bought slaw mix, along with thawed french cut green beans. One thing I noticed, this recipe used to note- dress and serve immediately. Other wise, yes; left to sit or left overs will draw the water out of the cabbage. I try to make only enough for one meal. Can always find a use for the left over dressing. And like any other recipe, adjust tartness / sweet to your own personal preference. :Thanks Alton-Read more

this recipe was great, a nice change from the everyday coleslaw. The peanut butter gave it an interesting mouth feel.

Big disappointment
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I was beyond disappointed with this recipe after the time I invested in prepping all the veggies and making the sauce. I... wish I had spent some time reading the suggestions in the comments beforehand. The sauce is way too tart and the mint and cilantro (both of which I usually love) just don't seem to work well with the other ingredients. Maybe I'll try adding some honey as someone had suggested to temper the tartness. Read more

Asian Slaw Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used banana peppers in place of the serrano chiles as I thought the ginger would make it hot enough and it certainly was... altho' the addition of honey--as some had suggested-- toned it down a bit. I added 1/2 cup of banana peppers instead. I used the dressing over chicken tenders and rice and it was a real hit at the dinner table!Read more
