Chinese Coleslaw
Chinese Coleslaw
Never had Chinese coleslaw before? This is a great alternative to the soggy mayonnaise based coleslaw that you are used to. The use of chinkiang black vinegar in the dressing gives it that Chinese taste. Think of it as the Chinese equivalent to balsamic vinegar. Purple cabbage is used instead of green. Roasted peanuts add another textural crunch to the coleslaw. This side pairs great with meat as it balances out the heavy richness.
