Recipe posted for play in Culinary Quest. This recipe is from website: http://steamykitchen.com Ponzu is a Japanese “sauce” however I refer to it as both a dressing and sauce. It’s much lighter than soy sauce, with a distinctive tangy lemon/orange flavor combined with a savory note. It’s a perfect balance of salty, sweet and sour! You can use it as a dipping sauce, as a light sauce for steamed vegetables and the best marinade ever. This Asian slaw is incredibly simple to make. Please Note: For best results, Add the dressing to the Slaw just before you serve.

How To Make asian slaw with ponzu dressing

  • 1
    Slice the snow peas on the diagonal into thin matchstick-sized pieces.
  • 2
    For carrots, you can purchase matchstick carrots, or slice them yourself (make sure to use a very sharp chef’s knife).
  • 3
    I cut the cabbage into four wedges. We will only use 1 of the wedges. Then, I shred the cabbage as thinly as possible. To do this, use a vegetable peeler and go along the corner, or use a box grater with large holes or use a sharp knife to shred by hand.
  • 4
    Now for the fennel, cut the white bulb from the green top. Cut the bulb into quarters and slice one of the quarters as thin as possible using a knife, a vegetable peeler or a mandoline. Save all the leftover fennel for another recipe.
  • 5
    The dressing ingredients are simple: ponzu, toasted sesame oil, sesame seeds and salt. Add 1/4 cup of ponzu to a bowl, then add the sesame oil and seeds. Season with a big pinch of salt and whisk with fork.
  • 6
    Pour the dressing over the snow peas, carrots, cabbage and fennel.
  • 7
    Toss to combine and taste. You can add more ponzu and salt if needed and serve immediately..
