After some doctoring, this turned out really good. A little voice in my head said, "don't use 2 Tbsp. chili or you'll be sorry." I cut it back to 1 Tbsp. & still almost died from the heat. I have never seen anything called "chili PASTE with garlic" & I checked several grocery stores & Asian markets. All I found that was close was a "Chili Garlic Sauce" [Tuong ot toi Viet-Nam] and it is hotter than Hades! I did add 1 Tbsp. tamari [wheat-free soy sauce] & 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil to the dressing, as well as another tsp. of sugar. I made it again the next night and diluted the heat [chili] by half and that came out just right for us. I definitely will make this again with the adjustments I mentioned. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I was planning on Recipe #380103 with an Asian style coleslaw for dinner tonight when the weather changed and I didn't feel like cold coleslaw anymore. I was thrilled to find this in the new recipes when I went looking for inspiration. It was just perfect with the cakes. I had a bit more cabbage and a few less bean sprouts, but I reckon that all balanced out. Thanks for an excellent, excellent recipe.
