Red Choy Slaw, by Hello Veggie http://helloveggie.org
Last night we did VEGAN BBQ! The BBQ sandwich was tasty and delicious. Unfortunately for Hello Veggie, it was such a simple vegan barbeque recipe that I don't even feel proud to post it! I boiled a package of tempeh for 10 minutes. Then I grated the tempeh and saturated it with barbeque sauce in a bowl. I thoroughly mixed it together and let it marinate for 24 hours. Once I was ready to serve it I simple heated it in a pan until it was steaming hot. I served it on a bun with some sliced pickles and it was a delicious vegan BBQ sandwich! I thought to myself, "what goes with a vegan BBQ sandwich?". Well, fries and cole slaw! I made some amazing potato wedge fries and some amazing Red Choy Slaw! The amazing thing about cabbage is that it is packed with calcium and is a member of the cruciferous family, which means it has great anti-cancer powers! Additionally (as if we needed more reasons to eat healthful cabbage), RED CABBAGE is even better than white. It has been shown to help prevent Alzheimer's disease due to the phytonutrients! Woo! And lets keep in mind, Red Choy Slaw is a great RAW side dish. So you don't lose or alter any nutrients in cooking it! Ingredients: 1 med head red cabbage, sliced into thin strips 1 head baby bok choy (Chinese cabbage), chop the stalks and slice the leaves 3 green onions, sliced thinly 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup white vinegar 1/4 cup canola oil 3 T toasted sesame seeds The onions, cabbage, and bok choy need to all be sliced, shredded, chopped or cut up in whatever fashion you desire for your slaw. Rinse, dry, and set in a medium bowl. In a small pot, combine oil, sugar, and vinegar and bring to a boil. Stir regularly. Once mixture boils, remove from heat. Put sesame seeds in a small pan over medium/high heat to toast. Once seeds are toasted add them to the vinegar mixture. Pour mixture over entire bowl of cabbage, cover, and chill before serving (at least for one hour). When ready to serve, toss slaw to cover with the dressing. This recipe is sweet and tangy! I had a huge serving and continued to pick pieces out of the bowl to munch! D said that the VEGAN BBQ sandwiches, potato fries, and Red Choy Slaw was such a real 'mans meal' that he put in an early request to have it for his birthday dinner this year! Guys are so easy, they don't want a fancy meal that you must slave over! They just want some sandwiches and slaw! I don't want to make myself sound amazing or anything...but he really did go ON and ON about his love for the meal. I say that to say this, try it out! I'll post my recipe for the potato wedge fries soon. It remains on the same level as the rest of this meal: simple and quick! Cabbage, shredded, boiled
