Sriracha coleslaw

[timothy]

I just made a batch of this:http://www.barefeetinthekitchen.com/2012/03/sriracha-coleslaw.html
And first taste without letting it set in the fridge for an hour is WOW.. Good stuff!
I added just a pinch of sugar for balance for me.

With only 2t of sauce in almost a # of slaw, it seems light on heat (just reading, not trying). IMO.

Yea I just added a few squirts, prolly double to triple that amount and it had a nice kick to me and my Son. I'm curious how it tastes today, if it mellows or gets hotter.

Thanks for sharing, I have to make this.

I make this often as my favorite coleslaw. I suggest you sneak up on the correct amount of srirachi. As it sits in the fridge, the flavor gets stronger.

Yes it does, but in a nice way to me. The heat seemed to stay the same, but the rooster flavor came out more, but still melded with the mayo and ginger.
I think that the ginger adds more pop as it sits also.
Anything you add or do differently Ralph? ( any tips?)

I don't include the ginger but will give it a try. I've also made it with Tabasco instead of Srirachi sauce. It is milder and softer. My family are not big fans of too much heat; though I am.

nice easy recipe, tastes good freshly mixed, can't wait to see how it improves with a little time.

I used 1/2 head of cabbage & 3 carrots (new food processor)

Sounds good....the more heat the better.

I would add that the first time I made it, I just added all the ingredients to the bowl with the slaw.
Making the dressing separately (to taste) than adding it to the slaw, makes more sense now.

That's how I did it Tim....I've only seen a few slaw recipes (made it 2-3 times is all), and this is the only one that specifies mixing it first....I think I'll do it like that from now on.

Yea LOL. I'm always in a rush, don't really think about it, just do-it, and if it comes out OK, Yay.
