It’s the perfect companion for all your favorite Korean (and Korean-inspired) dishes, including bibimbap and Korean-style cauliflower wings. Plus, it’s ready in 20 minutes with just 10 ingredients. Let us show you how it’s done! The base of this cabbage apple slaw is (you guessed it)…cabbage! Given that it’s used in classic kimchi, we initially tested this slaw with Napa cabbage but ultimately preferred the more sturdy texture of green or purple cabbage here. After thinly slicing the cabbage, we massage it well with salt for a subtle, crunchy texture and better digestibility! Apples, carrots, and green onions add color and ensure the perfect sweet + savory balance! Next comes the ginger sesame dressing! Fresh garlic and ginger add spice and flavor while rice vinegar, maple syrup, and toasted sesame oil create the perfect dressing texture. Gochujang is optional but gives the slaw that classic kimchi taste! Put it all together, and voilà! You’ve got yourself a fresh, crunchy, bright, and versatile slaw. Bonus? It keeps well for a couple days (if you have any leftovers…)! We hope you LOVE this slaw! It’s:FreshCrunchyBrightSpicy (optionally)Quick & easy& SO delicious! It’s a versatile side that goes well with almost anything spicy + savory, especially other Korean-inspired recipes, including our Easy Bibimbap with Gochujang Sauce and Spicy Korean-Style Cauliflower Wings.
