With its long crinkled leaves, Napa cabbage is more delicate in flavor than green or red cabbage. Rice-wine vinegar and hot chili oil are available in the Asian section of most supermarkets; white or red radish may be substituted if daikon is unavailable.
Ingredients
Serves 4
1 small garlic clove, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chile oil
Salt
3 cups (1/2 small head) Napa cabbage, very thinly sliced
1/2 red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, very thinly sliced
3 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, cut into 2-inch lengths, julienned
2 ounces daikon, peeled, very thinly sliced into 1/2-by-2-inch pieces
1/4 cup (about 3 ounces) snow peas, trimmed and very thinly sliced
1/4 chives, snipped into 2-inch lengths
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, zest and juice of lime, vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil. Season with salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss together cabbage, pepper slices, scallions, daikon, snow peas, and chives. Pour dressing over the slaw, toss to combine, and serve.
