When Molly was trying to figure out what to do with the leftover cabbage from making potstickers, she turned it into this mayo-y crunchy coleslaw! It’s super versatile, gets better with time, and can be paired with any protein!

Ingredients

1/2 cup (120 grams) Japanese mayonnaise, such as Kewpie

1 lime, zested and juiced

2 tablespoons (30 grams) unseasoned rice vinegar

1 tablespoon (15 grams) soy sauce

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 teaspoons honey

1 teaspoon sriracha

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

1 small red cabbage (about 1 1/4 pounds/567 grams), finely shredded

1 cup (70 grams) shredded carrots

1 small yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

4 scallions, finely chopped

1 cup (24 grams) loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

3 tablespoons (20 grams) toasted sesame seeds, divided

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the Japanese mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, honey, sriracha and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk to make a smooth dressing. Add the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, scallions, cilantro and 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds. Toss well to coat everything in the dressing. Taste and season with additional salt, if needed.
  2. If you have time, cover and chill for 15 to 20 minutes to both absorb and marry the flavors. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds before serving.
  3. Leftover slaw will keep covered in the fridge for 1 to 2 days.
