| Post subject: | Asian Slaw dressing-HELP |
Anyone have a good asian slaw dressing recipe? One with not to much sugar since I need to use Stevia in place of sugar. I actually made one this morning with rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, canola oil, stevia, and a few drops of a sweet hot sauce. It is just to sharp tasting. Any idea's on how to fix it before dinner time? Or should I start over with apple cidar vinegar? It's going on Napa cabbage, black sesame seeds, red pepper strips and green onions. I'm topping it with grilled flank steak which I will use a teriaki ginger rub on. Laurie |

Maybe add a little more oil? Also, I use a little mayonnaise in mine, which seems to smooth out the taste. |

Laurie, Probably too late at this point, but I'd just suggest adding less vinegar and maybe a little salt. |

My favorite recipe for Asian slaw came from the Union Square Cafe CB, and had a dressing of vegetable oil, lime juice as the acid (much less sharp tasting), honey as the sweetener, a touch of soy sauce and sesame oil, minced shallots, garlic, chiles, and ginger, and, the unique ingredient that adds a sort of complexity that is hard to figure out if you are dissecting it - some Thai red curry paste. I don't recall amounts except for the curry paste - just 2 tsp. in about 1 c of sauce. Even people not crazy about Asian food in general like this, and are always asking me to make it to take places. Too late now, but for future thoughts... |

This may sound odd, but how about some peanut butter? CC had an Asian-style slaw recipe a few years back. It included all the stuff you listed plus some crunchy peanut butter. I haven't tried the slaw yet, but the other variations have been pretty good. I can send you the recipe, if you like. |

Jes, The recipe I mentioned also had chopped peanuts in it - about the size you would chop them for pad Thai. And it is delicious! Peanut butter could help thicken the dressing, and help it stick to the veggies, so I may have to try that. |

I ended up adding a tsp of sugar and a TBS of water. It had mellowed out a little from setting all day. I actually thought about peanut butter and looking in the door of the fridge I saw my red thai curry and wonder, do I dare..lol. I guess I could have. It was OK, but I will try something a little different next time. Dave, I would love the recipe for your dressing when you get a minute. Laurie |
