Asian Coleslaw Recipe {Low-Carb}

Recipe from Asia! This delicious low-carb Asian Coleslaw Recipe is the perfect side dish. Easy to make with fresh cabbage, shredded carrots, and a bushel of cilantro to top it off with crushed peanuts,

I love coleslaw, it doesn’t matter how it's made, I love it all. So when I ordered food from a Food Truck and found one that was exceptional in taste, I tried to remake it at home.

Some of the best food I have ever had is from a food truck. This Asian Coleslaw Recipe came from a delicious Asian food truck from Washington DC. Which is the only area that I have ever been with such a large selection of food trucks.

One of the many things that I loved about living in DC was the best Asian food and one thing that I miss living in Dunedin. I’m happy to add this recipe to my collection from my travels and now share it with you to enjoy.

It’s a simple recipe but packed with flavor which is what is so surprising when you dig into your first bite! I hope you Enjoy!

Step by Step on How to Make Asian Coleslaw Recipe {Low-Carb}

Easy to make with fresh cabbage, shredded carrots, and a bushel of cilantro to top it off with crushed peanuts. All you will need is a bowl and spoon to mix it together.

1. Grated the ginger and a garlic clove, add to a small bowl.
2. Add the miso, sugar, rice, vinegar and mayonnaise to the small bowl and mix together until everything has blended together. I always taste it at this point to add my salt.
3. Shred the purple cabbage by slicing thin. Slice carrots and cucumber into julienne style and place everything into the larger bowl. Chop the cilantro to mix everything together.
4. Pour the dressing into the big bowl and mix everything together.
5. Add chopped peanuts and sesame seeds on top.
6. Let it sit for about an hour in the refrigerator before serving to let the flavors blend together before serving.

Variations

• Add cashews  instead of peanuts
• Try different cabbage 
• Add thinly sliced red peppers
• Add a little honey instead of sugar

Ways to Serve

• Serve with Korean barbecue
• Goes great with spicy chicken cutlets.
• Make my Thai Ribs In The Oven Recipe
• The best is the Sweet And Spicy Korean Beef With Bao Bun

Tip

When I make the Asian Coleslaw Recipe, I will try to make it a couple of hours before serving so the flavors are able to blend in together. I gives it a richer taste.
