Delicious Coleslaw Made with Fresh Cabbage and Colorful Vegetables, Revealing a Simple Dressing Secret
Try making a crisp and refreshing coleslaw using leftover cabbage. We’re sharing a secret to an easy coleslaw dressing that anyone can make at home without special ingredients. It’s a wonderful side dish, and it pairs perfectly with sandwiches or fried foods for an even richer flavor experience.
Main Ingredients- 3 Tbsp Cabbage (finely shredded)
- 1 Tbsp Green Bell Pepper (finely diced)
- 5 Tbsp Onion (finely minced)
- 1 Tbsp Red Bell Pepper (finely diced)
- 1 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
- 1 tsp Misolsol Treemon (or lemon juice)
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- A little Corn Kernels (drained)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for the coleslaw. Finely shred 3 tablespoons of cabbage, dice 1 tablespoon of green bell pepper, finely mince 5 tablespoons of onion, and dice 1 tablespoon of red bell pepper. Minced onion works best for a pleasant texture when cooked.
Step 2
It’s best to chop the prepared vegetables to about the size of a fingernail. If they are too large, they can be difficult to chew, so aim for small, uniform pieces.
Step 3
We’ve added red bell pepper for vibrant color and a generous amount of onion for a bit of pungency and aroma. These vegetables create the coleslaw’s diverse flavors and visual appeal.
Step 4
To enhance the vegetables’ crispiness, lightly marinate them with ‘Misolsol Treemon’ (or lemon juice). This process draws out excess moisture, resulting in a chewier, more delicious texture. The slight acidity also cuts through any richness.
Step 5
Place the vegetables in a bowl, add the ‘Misolsol Treemon’ (or lemon juice), toss lightly, cover with plastic wrap, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. If you’re short on time, even 30 minutes will work.
Step 6
After 2 hours, drain any excess liquid that has accumulated from the vegetables. Removing this liquid prevents the dressing from becoming watery and keeps the vegetables satisfyingly crisp.
Step 7
Now, let’s make the coleslaw dressing! This dressing is not only perfect for coleslaw but also works wonderfully as a tartar sauce. For instance, it’s delicious served with fried fish or tonkatsu, balancing the richness and adding a delightful flavor.
Step 8
The key to a great dressing is richness! Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise for a smooth and creamy taste. Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your preference.
Step 9
Finally, combine the marinated vegetables and corn kernels (drained) with the prepared dressing and mix well. Doesn’t the colorful appearance look appetizing?
Step 10
And there you have it – a crisp and delicious coleslaw salad! It’s a fantastic way to use up leftover cabbage from your fridge, so definitely give it a try when you have some odds and ends of vegetables!
