Kimchi Slaw

Tracy @ Next Level Baker
Kimchi slaw is a fusion of kimchi and coleslaw. It combines the tangy and spicy flavor of kimchi with the crunch of a coleslaw. Best of both worlds!

Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • ¼ cup sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten free
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste or doenjang
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Slaw Mix

  • 8 cups coleslaw mix*
  • 2 cups kimchi chopped
  • salt to taste optional
  • extra red cabbage or carrots for color optional
  • black sesame seeds or garnish optional
  • cilantro leaves or microgreens for garnish optional

Instructions
 

Make the dressing

  • Add all the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until incorporated. Set aside.
  • Add the coleslaw mix to a large bowl.
  • Scoop the kimchi out of its container with a slotted spoon. Chop the kimchi into similar sized pieces as the coleslaw mix. Add to the coleslaw mix and mix well.
  • Mix the dressing into the kimchi and coleslaw mixture.
  • Optional: salt to taste. I don't typically add salt as the soy sauce and kimchi usually adds enough salt.
  • Optional: garnish with black sesame seeds, cilantro or cilantro micro greens.

Notes

* An 14-16 ounce premade bag of coleslaw contains roughly 8 cups. You can also make your own coleslaw mix by thinly slicing 8 cups worth of green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots.
