We traded the goopy sweet mayo dressing in your typical cabbage slaw for a whipped, airy kimchi dressing. Cabbage two ways! If you prefer something less spicy, replace the kimchi juice with water.

Recipe information

Yield
8 servings

Ingredients

8 scallions

1/2 cup kimchi, plus 1 Tbsp. juice from jar

2 Tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar

1 Tbsp. Sriracha

2 tsp. fish sauce

2 tsp. toasted sesame oil

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 small head of Napa cabbage

1 (6") piece daikon, peeled, cut into matchsticks

2 cups store-bought shredded carrots

Kosher salt

Toasted sesame seeds and cilantro with tender stems (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1
Remove dark green tops from scallions and thinly slice; set aside. Blend scallion bulbs, kimchi, kimchi juice, vinegar, Sriracha, fish sauce, and sesame oil in a blender until smooth. With motor running, very slowly stream in vegetable oil; blend until dressing is thick and airy. Set aside.
Step 2
Tear off leaves from cabbage until you get down to the crunchy white part. Rip outer leaves into 2" pieces. Thinly slice core crosswise until you have about 6 cups; reserve remaining cabbage for another use. Toss in a large bowl with daikon, carrots, and reserved scallion tops. Season with salt; pour reserved dressing over. Toss to coat, transfer to a platter, and top with sesame seeds and cilantro.
