Ingredients
- Cabbage
- 4 cups, thinly sliced
- Carrots
- 2 cups, julienned or shredded
- Green onions
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Gochujang
- 2 tablespoons
- Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons
- Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Honey
- 1 tablespoon
- Garlic
- 1 clove, minced
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, julienned carrots, and chopped green onions. Toss to mix the vegetables evenly.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and salt until smooth and well combined. This will create a spicy and tangy dressing.
- Pour the gochujang dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften slightly.
- Before serving, sprinkle the coleslaw with black sesame seeds for a nutty crunch and visual appeal.
Tips
- For an extra crunch, consider adding radishes or thinly sliced bell peppers.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of gochujang or add a bit of mayonnaise to the dressing for creaminess.
- This coleslaw can be made a day in advance for even more developed flavors.
