Asian sweet and sour spicy slaw

2 c shredded cabbage (regular or Napa)
1/4 c shredded carrots
1/4 c red bell pepper, chopped
3-5 cloves garlic, minced
1 T fresh ginger, minced
2 T sweet chili sauce
2 T white or rice wine vinegar
2 T toasted sesame oil
1-2 T Sriracha hot sauce
1 t soy sauce
handful of chopped cilantro and scallion to garnish

Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate. Let it marinate for at least an hour. The longer the better.


Instead of fresh peppers, garlic, and ginger, I used my own pickled mix of sweet and hot banana peppers with chopped garlic and ginger in salted white vinegar, diluted with water by half. You could always mix everything but the cabbage and carrots and let marinate for a day or two in the fridge to get a similar effect.

Goes well with chicken and veggie stir fry or Spicy Sriracha chicken
