Weeknight Pineapple Coleslaw sits in the Salads section of Regbie. The card serves 6 servings. Plan on 2 hours from the first measure to the plate. The amounts and the method are both written on this page.
Ingredients
Yield: 6 servings
- ½ cup All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce
- 1 pound green cabbage, cored, and finely shred
- 1 pound red cabbage, cored, and finely shred
- 1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, or 1½ teaspoons table salt
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and finely sliced
- 1 cup canned pineapple tidbits in 100% pineapple juice, drained
- ¼ cup roasted and salted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 scallions or green onions, thinly sliced
Method
Shake up a jar of All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce or grab it from the refrigerator. This is your straightforward-peasy pineapple coleslaw dressing!
Turn the cabbage and salt in a large colander. Leave it for 1 to 4 hours or until the cabbage mixture wilts and liquid is released. The resulting texture should be squeaky and crunchy.
Rinse the cabbage in the colander to wash off some of the salt. Gently press the cabbage to pour off the water and then move the cabbage to a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and thoroughly pat dry. You can store the salted, wilted, and drained cabbage in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Move the cabbage to a large bowl and add the carrots, and pineapple. Tip in the All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce and toss well to combine.
Chill the coleslaw, covered in the refrigerator, for about 30 minutes. (You can skip this step, if you don’t care that the slaw is room temperature.)
When you are ready to serve the pineapple coleslaw, move it to a pretty serving dish. Taste for seasoning, and add more All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce if needed.
Turn in the chopped macadamia nuts, sesame seeds, and sliced scallions. Enjoy!
Kitchen notes
- 1 pound of cabbage is about ½ a medium head of cabbage.
- The salting and draining step is essential for non-watery coleslaw.
- If you’re impatient, just dress the cabbage right before serving and eat it quickly!
