Easy (raw): Coleslaw. The recipe below is very simple and uses grated ginger, serrano chile, cilantro, sugar and unseasoned rice vinegar instead of mayo to dress the cabbage. It has a nice sweet and spicy flavor that's great on a hot, summery afternoon. I added some grated carrots to my coleslaw and also used parsley instead of cilantro since it was available from the farm...perfect as a starter or side salad.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated peeled ginger
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 fresh serrano chile, finely chopped, with seeds
- 1 small head Napa cabbage (1 1/2 pounds), cored and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Preparation:
Whisk together vinegar, sugar, ginger, oil, chile, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add remaining ingredients and toss well. Let stand, tossing occasionally, 10 minutes.
