Wasabi Coleslaw



This recipe from Bangor, Maine Daily news newspaper, Aug 8, 2007 was something on the top of the list to try.

 The first time I had wasabi I had no idea what it was like. After that first taste, was hooked. They never give me enough when I ordered sushi. I always ask for more.

If you want to try a different cole slaw- this is the one.

Ingredients:

For the salad:

6 cups thinly sliced green cabbage (about 1/2 head)
1 cup shredded carrots
3 tablespoons sliced scallion greens or parsley

For the dressing:
2 1/2 tablespoons water
5 teaspoons wasabi powder 
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/3 cup mayonnaise ( used plain Greek yogurt)
1/4 cup canola oil or grapeseed oil
Several drops hot sauce ( used Dave's Insanity hot sauce)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

 Combine the cabbage, carrots and scallions
or parsley in a large bowl and set aside.

 Combine the water and wasabi powder in a small bowl
and mix until a paste forms. Set aside.

In another small bowl, whist together the vinegar and
sugar until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the mayonnaise,
oil hot sauce. Add the wasabi paste, and salt and pepper.
Mix well. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.

Just before serving, toss the dressing with the slaw.
Serves 6.

  1. Chicken me! I love coleslaw but maybe add just a teeny pinch. Looks great though

    1. You aren't chicken! We just like different things. I have a thing about lots of mayo in coleslaw so just want to find something different . I bet you would like the crack coleslaw!

  2. Bob loves wasabi-he can't take as much heat as he used to in food..........think if I cut the amount in half it would still be too hot, Linda? It makes him SO mad that he can't eat the hot stuff he loves. I bet he'd go crazy over this.

    1. Oh Carol it's hot. You can cut it but it's still gonna have some zing. I would let Bob pass on this one.

  5. I've never had wasabi and have never seen it in the stores. Mind you that is to be expected since I rately get to the stores. I love cole slaw and would be game to try something different.

    1. Angela- do you eat sushi? It's the little glob of green paste they give you with the rolls. It's spicy. Do you like spicy stuff? If not I would pass on this one.

  11. I like wasabi. It's hard to find here, so I rarely have it. But when I do, I go crazy! I've never thought to add it to coleslaw--what a way to jazz up the old cookout stand-by! Thank you for sharing, Linda!
