Kimchi coleslaw

Kimchi coleslaw is a delightful twist on traditional coleslaw, infusing it with the tangy and spicy flavors of kimchi. This dish not only adds a vibrant kick to your meals but also brings the benefits of fermented foods into your diet, aiding digestion and promoting gut health.

Ingredients

2 c cabbage (white or green finely shredded, provides a crunchy base)
1⁄2 c onion (red onion, finely sliced, offers a mild, sharp flavor)
1 c carrot (shredded, introduces sweetness and additional texture)
1⁄2 c mayonnaise (binds the slaw together with creaminess)
4 T kimchi (heaped, chopped, adds spice and fermented goodness)
1 T vinegar (optional, rice vinegar, enhances the tangy flavor)
1 t sugar (optional, balances the spice with a hing of sweetness)
  seasoning (salt and pepper to taste, complement the overall flavor)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage, sliced red onion, and shredded carrot. Toss them together to ensure even distribution.

In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, and sugar until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the chopped kimchi to the cabbage, onion, and carrot mixture. Pour the dressing over the top and toss everything together until well-coated.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

Finely chop the kimchi into small pieces. This allows its flavors to infuse throughout the coleslaw.

Kimchi coleslaw is a versatile side dish that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, sandwiches, or wraps. Its spicy crunch and sweet carrot notes make it a standout addition to any meal.

Variations

If you are in a hurry, omit rice vinegar and sugar, mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl.

Use white or green cabbage and red onion, or, viceversa, red cabbage and white onion.

Use vegan mayonnaise and you will have a vegan dish.
