Savoy Slaw with Mint and Cilantro

Hello Cooking fans!

I don't know why I don't do more slaws. They are always so refreshingly tasty and so damn healthy. So, I had some carrots to use up and decided that a slaw would be the best place for them.

And you know, it's pretty cheap to make a slaw and it makes so much. I don't think I smack myself in the head nearly as often as I should.

So, let's get to it!

The Ingredients

6 cups thinly sliced savoy cabbage
1 cup coarsely grated peeled carrots
1 cup coarsely grated peeled daikon radish
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 2x1/3-inch strips (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 green onions, sliced
7 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 serrano chiles, seeded, minced

So, the Xena substitutions:
I used one giant jalapeno instead of serranos. I didn't want it to be too hot and the Boy likes the flavor of jalapeno.
I didn't measure the cabbage, carrots or radish. Just chopped or grated it all up and threw it together.

And now for the steps!

First, cut up your cabbage into thin strips and put it into a big bowl


Grate the carrots and put into the same bowl


Peel and grate the daikon radish and put into the same big bowl


Slice up the red bell pepper into super thin slices and make the length about 2 inches or so. I just sliced and then cut in half. Place in big bowl.


Chop up about 1/2 cup of mint and place in big bowl


Chop up about 1/2 cup of cilantro and place in big bowl.


Finally, thinly slice up your four green onions and place into the big bowl.


I didn't mix up yet, because you have to mix it really good when you add the dressing, but it's your choice. Mix once or Mix twice.

Now to make the dressing!
Chop up your jalapenos or serranos after seeding them and place into a small bowl.


Then pour in your 7 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. (I ended up doubling this part because it didn't seem like enough to me)


Whisk all that together and add some salt and pepper.


Pour over the big bowl of stuff and mix really well.
Very tasty.
