Oriental Coleslaw
3/4 cup chopped snow peas
3 cups shredded green cabbage
3 cups shredded red cabbage
1 cup sliced water chestnuts
1 cup sliced red peppers
3/4 cup canned mandarin oranges; drained
2 medium green onions; chopped
-----DRESSING-----
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soya sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger root
In saucepan of boiling water or microwave, blanch snow peas just until
tender-crisp, approximately 1 to 2 minutes; refresh in cold water and
drain. Place in serving bowl with shredded cabbage, water chestnuts, red
peppers, mandarin oranges and green onions; toss well to combine.
In small bowl whisk together brown sugar, vinegar, vegetable oil, soya
sauce, sesame oil, garlic and ginger; pour over salad and toss well.
NOTES
Other vegetables such as green beans or broccoli can replace snow peas.
Great variation on usual coleslaw.
Prepare salad and dressing early in the day. Best if tossed just before
serving.
