  Fabulous! I added some full fat greek yoghurt to make more of a creamy dressing. Fantastic recipe that I will certainly make over and over again

  Ditch the sugar use mirron Syrup instead of sugar to get the flavour right the sugar crystals wont blend in as good as Japanese miron and the sweetness is easier to adjust also something i found out is toasted sesame oil is available in australia at Japanese and Korean supermarkets it is alot stronger then pure sesame available at coles or Woolworths and you need to adjust for that thanks Nagi loved it

  I love this fresh take on slaw! I added double the seaweed salad because it felt more balanced that way. And I made my own seaweed salad using rehydrated wakame, red onion, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and lemon juice. The seaweed salad brings in an unami flavor, so the overall salad has a more complex taste. The dressing was the perfect amount - next time I hope to add wasabi paste. Thank you for taking the time to create this amazing and simple recipe.

  This was just amazing! The flavours a just great. I got a little lazy and grabbed a bag of pre cut coleslaw mix from the supermarket to use in place of the two different cabbages and carrot. Saved me a lot of leftover cabbage and mess and still tasted great.

  This salad and dressing is superb. So good.

  Really tasty recipe. I added some peanut butter to the dressing as I found it a bit fishy (my husband is sensitive to “fish” smell). He said it’s gourmet quality! I paired it with vegan Thai red lentil soup as a meal.

  Great salad, there is a place near me called “Char” and I googled Japanese coleslaw and your recipe popped up. I added some finely sliced green capsicum. So similar. Thanks

  Very nice. I used rehydrated wakami since it was all I had on hand before shopping. Also had no green onions and no wasabi, but I topped it with toasted sesame seeds. I read the instructions after I had already mixed everything together so...your presentation is undoubtedly superior!

  This is THE BEST coleslaw dressing! So happy I found it. Thank you!! :)

  Currently making this and I think I bought the wrong seaweed. It’s come out of the packet completely covered in salt and I have to soak it for 40 minutes?? Have made everything else though, and the dressing is amaaaazing!
