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

Slaw

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

Instructions

1. Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, granulated sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and garlic powder. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the dressing is smooth.
2. Prepare the cabbage: Thinly slice about half a head of cabbage to yield 4 to 5 cups. Ensure the slices are consistent in thickness to help the dressing coat evenly.

• You can substitute mayonnaise with a lighter version to reduce calories if desired.
• Add shredded carrots or green onions for extra color and flavor variation.
• The coleslaw can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; toss before serving to redistribute the dressing.
• If you prefer a less sweet slaw, adjust the sugar quantity to taste.
