Sriracha Slaw

I love Sriracha.  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  It's fiery and packs an addictive punch.  I can honestly say that I crave this glorious sauce and while having a craving, I came up with this super easy, yet totally delish coleslaw, which I got rave reviews about from those that inhaled it

Depending on your heat tolerance, you can play with how much Sriracha, or Rooster Sauce as some call it, you add.  Start with less and go from there.  I served this alongside pork tenderloin medallions I had breaded with panko and curry powder (I'll post it when I perfect it) and it was an awesome duo.  The husband and I actually wound up topping the medallions with the slaw.  However, this slaw would round out any meal well....toss some on a sandwich or burger....cue the drool.

I used a bagged broccoli slaw purely because it's what I had.  If you were to shred your own cabbage, use only a small head and 1 carrot.  Remember the cabbage will begin to wilt as soon as you pour the dressing on....if you need more dressing, make a bit more but I have scaled these measurements to 1 bag of Broccoli Slaw.  Let this sit for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours meld. 

p.s. this serves 4 as a side dish but my other half ate 3 servings in one sitting....he loved it that much.




Sriracha Slaw
Serves 4

1 Bag of Broccoli Slaw (340 grams), I used President's Choice
1 carrot, shredded
5 tbsp Mayonnaise, Light or Regular
2 tbsp Cider Vinegar (you could use Seasoned Rice Vinegar but cut back on honey by 1 tsp)
2 tsp honey
1 tbsp Wholegrain or Grainy Mustard (Dijon may not work well here so don't substitute)
1-3 tsp Sriracha (depends on your heat tolerance)

Put the broccoli slaw and carrot in a large bowl.  Mix the remaining ingredients and toss with the coleslaw.  Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours before serving.  Check for seasoning.  The dressing can be made the day before if necessary.
