Asian Slaw - ALLLL of the NOM

(Mediterranean Magic! Show me yer...) #1

Everyone will ask you for the recipe. Give them this link :wink:

1 head green cabbage
1/2 head purple cabbage
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil (plus extra if you like it less tart)
1 cup rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar - I use 1/2 of each
3 Tablespoons finely diced ginger (I use more)
1/4 cup flaked/sliced almonds
1/4 cup erythritol or sweetener of choice to taste
Zest of one large lemon
Juice of one large lemon

this will keep for a week in fridge - it gets wilted but better

Finely slice cabbages into shreds.

In saucepan on low, toast almonds and sesame seeds until fragrant and light brown. Sprinkle with erythritol and toss until melty. Take off heat. Pour in vinegar and lemon juice,then sesame oil, zeSt, and ginger. Stir to combine and pour over cabbage. Toss lightly and taste. Drizzle over more sesame oil if it’s too tart for you. Serve cold or room temp.

I’ve been known to top it with chopped strawberries.

Show me your boring keto food!

Quick question @MableSyrup does the upper case “T” for the ginger represent tablespoons or teaspoons, please? Or something else altogether?!

(Carol E. ) #3

Nice flavor combination. All nom’s rightfully given. :sunglasses:

T for Tablespoon
t for teaspoon

Maybe it’s an American thing. I’ll go spell them out. Thanks for the heads up!

#5

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, the joys in international measurements - in Aus we use Tsp and Tbs as the abbreviations.

In this case, if you like ginger, use MOAR

I think I’m taking this to my pinochle club tonight. I also think you might be my favorite person. This sounds AMAZING. :heart_eyes::blush:

Yay! Enjoy!

I have always seen it as tbsp for tablespoon and tsp for teaspoon. A bit shorter than writing it out hehe

(Candy Lind) #10

And I grew up with little “t” for teaspoon and capital “T” for tablespoon. I may have to dig out my old cookbooks now and look what’s in there! I know the little t and big T are on all my old recipe cards from relatives.

How did the pinochle club like it? It sounds fantastic!

(Candy Lind) #12

I actually ran out of time to do it, but I may make it to take to a dinner tonight. I’ll report as soon as I get to it! LOL

(Candy Lind) #13

OK, I made it! I think it’s AWESOME and I bet my vegetarian friends will, too! This is going in my regular rotation.

Wahoo!

(Candy Lind) #15

They liked it! :+1:

Thanks for posting. Sounds like something great to add left over chicken or turkey or pork to as well. And maybe a dash of soy sauce.

Must buy cabbage…

(Mediterranean Magic! Show me yer...) #17

Suggestion: Buy Tamari instead of soy sauce. Same great taste without the wheat.

(Candy Lind) #18

I tend to use coconut aminos or Bragg liquid aminos (which is soy based, but I use it infrequently in small quantities so … ).

(Beth) #19

Great! I’m going to try it. Thinking about it is making me hungry. Doing a 24 today and I’m at about 20 hours :).

Love the idea of adding some chicken and soy. Maybe some green onions if that wouldn’t be too weird with the sweetness. This kind of reminds me of a recipe that called for a package of crushed ramen noodles, just without the unhealthy, highly processed ingredients. It was a favorite of mine!

Green onions are great. It’s not as sweet as you think. =)
