How To Make shogun slaw

  • Step 1
    Prepare the dressing. Mix the wasabi and water (if using) in a small bowl and let stand for 5 minutes to form a thick paste. Add the garlic, ginger, 5 tablespoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the sesame oil and sesame seeds.
  • Step 2
    Stir the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, scallions, and snow peas. Toss to mix. The slaw tastes best served within 4 hours of preparing. Correct the seasoning, adding vinegar, sugar, or salt as necessary just before serving.
