Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, cooked
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish
  • For the Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup warm water (to thin)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, and edamame.
  2. Prepare the dressing: Whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a medium bowl.
  3. Add the warm water gradually, whisking until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. It should be pourable but still thick enough to coat the slaw.
  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables.
  5. Toss everything well until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  6. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
  7. Chill the slaw for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve cold, garnished with chopped peanuts.

Notes

  • You can substitute Savoy or Napa cabbage for green cabbage.
  • For extra heat, add a teaspoon of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
  • This slaw stays crisp for several days when stored in an airtight container without the dressing. Add the dressing just before serving for the best texture.
  • Feel free to add shredded grilled chicken or tofu to make this a heartier meal.
