Based on the other reviews, I didn't use all the dressing on the slaw. The salad came out nice and crispy just like the name. We enjoyed the touch of ginger and the heat of the cayenne pepper which I did double cuz we like things spicy. I cut the recipe in half and have plenty of dressing for another small serving of salad. Thanks for posting. :)

This slaw is good and different, but I found the soy sauce/vinegar taste a bit strong. I used sherry instead of the mirin, but that shouldn't have made much difference. I also thought there was too much dressing for the salad -- maybe if I used more cabbage, it would have worked out better. Thanks for sharing!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live near Seattle, WA with my husband of 11 years and our pet ferrets.
We're lucky enough to own a home with a big, south facing yard which is great for entertaining. It also allows me to have a big vegetable garden where I grow most of my own herbs and a lot of the vegetables we eat in the summer, as well as a bunch to share with family and friends.
In my professional life, I'm an accountant- but what I really love to do is cook and eat! Most of my ability is self-taught. I love to experiment with new recipes and techniques, most of which I get from watching way too much food tv and reading foodie magazines.
Recently I decided to start a personal chef business and have cooked for a few clients. I love the challenge of designing a menu to fit a family's specific tastes and needs, and then cooking it for them to enjoy.
For me, cooking is an expression of love. Everyone needs to eat, but food is more than just fuel for the body, it can nurture and comfort ~ give us a memory from childhood, or a retreat when we feel ill. I always think of the people who I'm cooking for when I make a dish, and there is no better compliment than when someone enjoys the food I've made especially for them.
I also like to do OAMC- style cooking, but instead of using it mainly to get dinner on the table, I focus on getting lunch in the bag! Eating out is far too expensive in both dollars and nutrition to make a habit of, yet I want a hot, satisfying meal to enjoy in the middle of the day. Cookin ahead allows me to have great food, without sacrificing either my dollars or my waistline.
