Cutting the mayonnaise brings out the sweet flavor of Napa cabbage and makes this slaw low in fat. Substitute malt vinegar for rice vinegar in this side dish, if you like.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups shredded Napa cabbage (from 1 medium head)

  • 3 medium carrots, cut into matchsticks

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • ¼ cup rice vinegar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves, torn if large

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, toss together cabbage and carrots. In a small bowl, combine sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Stir until sugar dissolves, then pour over cabbage mixture. Toss until slaw is coated and top with mint leaves.
