Most of the time when I'm cooking I don't measure out the ingredients - I just fly around the kitchen, tossing ingredients together by intuition. I'm not sure of the measurements for this dish, but since I had a lot of requests for the recipe, I figured I will share the basics & let you all try it per your own intuition!
I initially was making this slaw to accompany BBQ pulled pork tenderloin sandwiches and was going to make my homemade BBQ sauce, but lost track of time. Last minute, I decided to top the pulled pork tenderloin sandwiches with this slaw, some vegenaise, Sriracha pepper sauce, and a little hoisin sauce. YUM. Directions are below for the pulled pork as well. :) -JJ
Ingredients:
- Half a head of green cabbage, shredded
- 2 large radishes, peeled & julienned
- Bragg's Apple Cider vinegar (add gradually to taste)
- Mirin (add gradually to taste)
- Fresh lime juice (maybe 1/4 lime?)
- Black sesame seeds (shake generously!)
- Tupelo honey (maybe a heaping teaspoon?)
- Toasted sesame oil (add gradually - it's a strong ingredient!)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (to taste)
- Sea salt (to taste)
- Chopped roasted peanuts (to top)
Directions:
Toss cabbage, radish, vinegar, Mirin, lime juice, sesame seeds, honey, sesame oil, salt and cilantro in a large bowl. Taste it. Love it. Top with peanuts. Done.
