Chinese Coleslaw

Aug 12, 2024

By Esther Boateng

If you’re up for a crunchy, savory, sweet, and tangy Asian style coleslaw, grab your cheese grater, roll up your sleeves, and start grating. You won’t need any mayonnaise for this recipe, but you will need some cabbage, a Chinese pear, fennel, celery, and a deliciously simple dressing to pour over your vegetables.

Asian pears are crisp, sweet, and very juicy. If you make a larger batch of coleslaw, you might want to use the whole pear, otherwise half a pear is more than sufficient. If you can’t get hold of any Asian pears, use a regular pear or Granny Smith apple instead. Garnish your coleslaw with a handful of black sesame seeds or crushed almonds and serve with your meal.
