ASIAN SWEET & SPICY SLAW

Well, it's no secret that I have majorly neglected my blog lately. That is about to change! I have some exciting things in the works;
lots of new recipes, product and restaurant reviews and a new feature where I will spotlight a different Vegan that inspires me every month!! Its been a very busy time for me, especially this whole summer, and sadly, it left me little time for me. I've still been working feverishly in the kitchen to develop many new recipes, and I am so excited to share them all with you!
Many of my best creations are made when I feel I have "nothing in the house", or a bunch of random ingredients that need used asap. This delicious slaw is one of those creations, and most of the ingredients are things you most likely always have on hand. You can eat this slaw as a side, or as a topping to your veggie burger or "fish" taco. I ate the entire bowl as is (not in one sitting!!!), although, I'm not gonna lie, I kinda wanted to....
Now, on to the important part, THE RECIPE!!!

ASIAN SWEET & SPICY SLAW

FOR SLAW:
*1/2 bag shredded carrots
*1/2 bag shredded gren cabbage
*1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
*3 green onions, green and white parts, thinly sliced
*1 jalapeno, diced small (I LOVE heat, so I didnt remove seeds or ribs)
*Handful of cilantro, roughly chopped
*2 TBS of a mixture of black and white sesame seeds
FOR DRESSING:
*2 1/2 TBS sesame oil
*1/3 C Veganaise (or vegan mayo of your choice)
*1 TBS agave nectar
*1 tsp cayenne
*3 TBS rice wine vinegar
*1 TBS mirin
*Himalayan salt, to taste
*Freshly ground cracked pepper, to taste

~In medium bowl, add all of the slaw ingredients EXCEPT the sesame seeds. Stir together and set aside.

~In smaller bowl, combine rice vinegar, agave and mirin. Whisk to combine. Then add in remaining ingredients. Whisk again until completely combined, and there are no lumps of the Veganaise left. If the dressing seems too thin, you can add a little more Veganaise. Taste and adjust any flavors if needed.

~Pour the dressing into the slaw ingredients and gently stir, being sure to coat evenly.

~Stir in the sesame seeds. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.

Easy peasy!
