To make coleslaw, I make use of one of my favourite bits of kitchen gadgetry - my
julienne peeler. It makes beautiful fine strips of carrot in a matter of seconds!
The heat of
wasabi paste can vary quite a bit between brands, so add a little at a time to the dressing and taste it regularly until you are happy with it. You can always add more!
I find its easiest to shred the cabbage by first cutting it into smaller pieces, and then using a large bread knife to thinly slice it. You can also use a vegetable peeler for super thin shreds.
