Spicy Asian coleslaw
This is definitely spicy but you can lessen the heat by leaving out the jalapeno chilli peppers. It tastes much better if you can leave the flavours to mingle for a while. Serve by itself, with meat or use as a filling for homemade spring rolls.

Great, bold flavor! I omitted the jalapeno (I'm pregnant and can't tolerate super spicy right now) and subbed a few shakes of red pepper flakes, and I used fresh ginger because I don't have ground, and baby bok choy because it's what I had from the CSA. I used half the dressing, and that was plenty. I think the dressing really makes this salad--it's tangy and mustardy, but not overpowering. This would also be great with cabbage instead of bok choy. A definite keeper! - 03 Oct 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Sensational dressing! I adore spicy food and this hit the spot. Spicy-hot, tangy and slightly sweet; perfect side dish, but it would be fantastic on a hamburger, burrito, soft tacos, wraps, noodle soup and more. I used cabbage and serrano peppers. Will definitely make again to share! Thanks JWM! - 25 Apr 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
