Method

Launch Cooking Mode What's this?

Star the oriental coleslaw by , discarding any damaged cabbage leaves, cut into quarters and shred as finely as possible. Place in a bowl of ice cold water along with the onion and leave for a few minutes

Drain well, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 30 minutes. This will give the cabbage a crisp texture

Just before serving, add the oil, rice wine vinegar, sugar and soy sauce to the cabbage and onion. Mix quickly, checking the seasoning

To finish the coleslaw, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top and serve immediately

Toasting sesame seeds

Toast sesame seeds in a thick-bottomed, dry frying pan over a medium heat for a few minutes until then take on some colour. Keep your eye on them at all times as they can quickly burn.
