Shredded Cabbage Salad With Rice Vinegar Ginger And Sesame Recipes

SHREDDED CABBAGE SLAW WITH GINGER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, lime juice, ginger, and sugar. Whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss in a large bowl with cabbages and carrots. Top with sesame seeds.

ASIAN CHOPPED SALAD WITH SESAME GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add a pinch of salt if desired). Place in the fridge while you wash and cut your veggies. This will give the flavors time to marinate. (* Whisk again before pouring on salad)
• To a large mixing bowl, add the lettuce, cabbage, carrots, edamame, almonds, and green onions. Toss to combine well.
• If you're ready to serve the salad, add the dressing (*whisk before pouring) and half the oranges. Gently toss to combine. Some of the dressing will settle to the bottom, so if you feel the veggies need more coating, just toss gently again. Top with crispy noodles and the remaining oranges. You can sprinkle on sesame seeds too. Enjoy!

ASIAN SLAW WITH SESAME GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, apples, green onions and cilantro leaves.
• In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, honey, mayonnaise, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and black pepper until completely combined. Gradually whisk in sesame oil and olive oil until dressing is lightly thickened. Taste and season with more salt and pepper as desired.
• Drizzle half of the dressing over the coleslaw, gently toss to combine. Add more to taste, or serve on the side. Serve within 1 hour of combining.

ASPARAGUS & CHICKEN SALAD WITH SESAME GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts into strips (6-8 pieces per breast). Place in shallow bowl. Add sesame oil, minced garlic, rice vinegar and tamari and turn pieces to coat. Marinate 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Trim tough ends from asparagus. Heat 1 tsp (5 mL) oil in non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and sauté approximately five minutes until tender crisp. Roll the spears in the pan to coat with oil and encourage even cooking on all sides. Set aside to cool. Slice on an angle into ½ inch (1.25 cm) pieces.
• Heat another teaspoon (5 mL) oil in pan asparagus was sautéed in. Add chicken strips and cook until lightly browned and cooked through (165°F (74°C)) - about 5 minutes per side. Pour over any remaining marinade during cooking. Boil and set aside to cool.
