Instructions

  • Chop Veggies: Prep the cabbage, carrots, daikon, green onion, and kimchi. Add it all to a large bowl and mix well.
  • Make Dressing: Add all of the dressing ingredients to a small bowl or a pyrex with a pour spout and whisk until it all is well combined.

Notes

Storage
Store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. 
Make Ahead
This is a great coleslaw to make ahead of a cookout or gathering. Prep all of the veggies and dressing separately and then dress the salad just before you're ready to serve. 
Substitutions
Cabbage: Use all green or mix in some napa, or adjust the amount of purple to green. 
Kimchi: Adjust the heat with different kinds of kimchi. 
Seasoned Rice Vinegar: This is what adds some necessary sweetness to the dressing. You can also use mirin, or sub apple cider vinegar and then add a couple of teaspoons of honey.
Toasted Sesame Oil:  Regular sesame oil works great, too.
