Ingredients

For the Salad

1/4 hispi cabbage - (or other cabbage)
1 head pak choi (bok choy)
1 carrot
1 chilli - (sliced and de-seeded)
1 spring onion
1 bunch leafy coriander - (according to taste)

For the dressing

2 tsp sesame oil - (or olive oil)
2 tsp tamari - (or soy sauce)
1 tsp maple syrup - (or honey)
1 cm ginger root - (finely grated)
1 lime - (juiced)
1 tbs sesame seeds

Instructions

Finely shred the cabbage, pak choi and coriander (including the stalks). Peel and grate the carrot.
Slice the chili lengthways and de-seed. Finely slice the chilli and spring onion.
Measure out and mix the dressing ingredients (aside from the sesame seeds) and whisk together.
Add the dressing and chopped ingredients to a salad bowl and massage in with your hands.
Serve topped with the sesame seeds and a few extra coriander leaves.

Notes

Keep fresh ginger in a tub in the freezer and grate it from frozen.
When juicing citrus fruit, roll them on the worktop under the heel of your hand for a few seconds – you will extract FAR more juice.
Tamari is gluten free whereas regular soy sauce contains wheat. Use which you prefer.
Use either maple syrup (vegan) or honey in the dressing.
I used a mix of red & green chillies, and white & black sesame seeds purely to make this salad look more attractive. Again, use what you have.
Pak and bok choi are the same thing. You can also make this Asian slaw with regular cabbage, Chinese broccoli or other leafy greens.
