Ingredients

Scale

For the Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Coleslaw

  • 4 to 5 cups thinly sliced cabbage (about 1/2 head of cabbage)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, granulated sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and garlic powder. Whisk these ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Combine with cabbage: Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the bowl containing the dressing. Toss the cabbage well to ensure every strand is evenly coated with the creamy dressing, enhancing the flavor and texture of the coleslaw.
  3. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the coleslaw for a delightful nutty flavor and appealing presentation. Serve immediately or chill briefly for a cold, crisp side dish that pairs wonderfully with teriyaki chicken or grilled dishes.

Notes

  • For best results, slice the cabbage as thinly as possible to maximize crispness and allow better dressing absorption.
  • This coleslaw tastes excellent when chilled for at least 30 minutes before serving but can also be served immediately.
  • Adjust sugar and soy sauce quantities according to your preferred balance of sweetness and saltiness.
  • To make this dish vegan, substitute mayonnaise with a vegan alternative and use tamari instead of soy sauce if gluten sensitivity is a concern.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
