Ingredients
  

  • Vegetable oil
  • Coleslaw mix shredded cabbage and carrots
  • Large scallions green onions
  • Small red onion
  • Soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Grated fresh ginger
  • White vinegar
  • Dark brown sugar
  • Asian sesame oil
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Vegetables: Thinly slice the 6 large scallions and finely chop the small red onion. Open the 2 bags of coleslaw mix and check for any large chunks—break them up if needed. Place all the veggies in a large mixing bowl and toss gently to combine.
  • Make the Dressing: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 250 ml vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 40 g white vinegar, 10 g dark brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil. Continue whisking until the sugar fully dissolves and the dressing emulsifies into a smooth, glossy mixture.
  • Toast the Sesame Seeds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Add them to the dressing and whisk once more. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Use tongs or clean hands to toss everything thoroughly, ensuring every strand of cabbage is coated evenly.
  • Chill and Meld Flavors: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend and the slaw to crisp up.
  • Serve: Give it a final toss before serving. Enjoy your fresh Bonefish Grill coleslaw cold for maximum refreshment!
