Sriracha Slaw
- 1/3 cup chunky natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice or freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup Sriracha
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 pounds napa cabbage, shredded
- 1/2 pound red cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, peeled and julienned
- 2 red bell peppers, seeded and julienned
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 6 green onions, white part only, thinly sliced on the diagonal
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Coarsely chopped fresh Thai basil, for garnish
- Lime slices, for garnish
- To make the dressing, in a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, lime juice, pineapple juice, Sriracha, garlic, fish sauce, ginger paste, and sugar.
- Cover and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
- To make the slaw, in a large bowl, mix together the napa and red cabbages, carrots, bell peppers, jalapeno, green onions, cilantro, and mint.
- Add the dressing and toss to mix.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with the basil and lime slices.
- Serve immediately to retain crunch.
- For a more traditional picnic and barbecue coleslaw, make a dressing with 1/2 cup Sriracha Aioli (page 16), 1/4 cup cider vinegar, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Combine with the slaw ingredients, using 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley instead of the cilantro and mint.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Feel free to opt for 2 (16-ounce) bags of store-bought coleslaw mix in place of cutting the cabbages and carrots yourself.
