Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 1 apple, diced
- 1 cup corn, cooked
- 1/4 cup sesame dressing
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Shred the green cabbage and carrots, and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
- Next, take the apple, wash it thoroughly, and then dice it into small bite-sized pieces. Add the diced apple to the mixing bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
- If you are using fresh corn, cook it in boiling water for about 5-7 minutes until tender, then drain and let it cool. If using canned or frozen corn, ensure it is cooked and drained. Add the corn to the mixing bowl.
- Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients. This will add a fresh flavor to your slaw.
- Pour the sesame dressing over the mixture in the bowl. Use a spatula or tongs to gently toss all the ingredients together until they are well coated with the dressing.
- Once everything is mixed, taste the slaw and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may want to add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
- Let the slaw sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This can be done while you prepare the rest of your meal.
- Serve the Sweet Asian Slaw Apple Corn in individual bowls or as a side dish. Enjoy your fresh and vibrant slaw!
Tips
- Freshness is Key: Use the crispest cabbage and the sweetest apples you can find. The fresher your ingredients, the more vibrant your slaw will taste.
- Corn Matters: For maximum flavor, use fresh corn if possible. If using canned or frozen, ensure it's well-drained to prevent a watery slaw.
- Dressing Technique: Add the sesame dressing gradually and toss gently to ensure even coating without crushing the delicate ingredients.
- Prep Ahead: This slaw tastes even better after sitting for 15-30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together. You can even prepare it a few hours in advance.
- Customization Options: Feel free to add toasted sesame seeds or sliced almonds for extra crunch and nutty flavor.
- Serving Suggestion: This slaw pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fish, or as a refreshing standalone light meal.
