Ingredients
Scale
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)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Toss cabbage with dressing: Add the sliced cabbage into the bowl with the dressing. Toss well to ensure every piece of cabbage is coated evenly with the flavorful dressing.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the coleslaw generously with sesame seeds for a nutty crunch and extra visual appeal. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to meld the flavors before enjoying.
Notes
- For best results, slice the cabbage very thinly to ensure the dressing clings well and the texture is pleasant.
- 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.
