Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups thinly shredded napa cabbage -- or savoy cabbage (about 1/2 whole napa or 1/3 savoy cabbage)
1/2 cup mung bean sprouts
1/2 red bell pepper -- very thinly sliced
3 scallions -- white part minced, green part thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup snow peas -- snapped and julienned
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 (to 4) serrano pepper -- jalapeno, or Thai chilies, minced (for a milder slaw, remove the seeds)
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
3 tablespoons rice vinegar -- to 4 tablespoons
2 teaspoons sesame oil -- or to taste
1 teaspoon sugar -- or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine the cabbage, bean sprouts, bell pepper, scallions, snow peas,
cilantro, chilies, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, rice vinegar, sesame oil,
sugar, salt, and pepper in a nonreactive bowl and toss to mix. Correct the
seasoning, adding salt, sugar or vinegar to taste. This slaw tastes best
served within a few hours of making.

Makes 3 cups, enough to serve 4.

AuthorNote: Coleslaw originate in America, of course, but bean sprouts,
napa (Chinese cabbage), and other Asian ingredients make a delectable
variation.
