Shredded Beet And Radish Slaw With Rice Noodles Recipes

SHREDDED BEET AND RADISH SLAW WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 20 minutes, or until pliable. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drain the noodles and add to the boiling water. Boil 1 minute and drain. Rinse with cold water and transfer to a bowl. Using kitchen scissors, cut the noodles into 2-inch lengths. Toss with 2 teaspoons of the rice vinegar and the soy sauce.
• Place the grated beets, radishes and chopped herbs in a large bowl and toss with the remaining rice vinegar and salt to taste. Add the noodles, pickled ginger and orange zest and toss together. Taste and add salt if desired.
• To serve, line plates or a platter with lettuce leaves and top the lettuce with the salad. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve.

SWEET BEET DRESSED SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat a medium size skillet over medium-high heat with 3 turns of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, about 3 tablespoons. Once you see the oil ripple in the pan add the grated beets, season with some salt and pepper and cook stirring every now and then until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beets to a bowl and let them cool down a bit. Add the mustard and the vinegar to the beets. Whisk in the remaining extra-virgin olive oil in a slow and steady stream. Add the fresh dill, radishes, shredded cabbage, sliced scallions and relish and toss to combine, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve now or the next day.

SHREDDED CABBAGE & RADISH SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the cabbage, radishes, scallions, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a sealable plastic bag and mix well. Expel as much air as possible and seal the bag. Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes, and up to overnight.
• Using tongs or two forks, remove the vegetables from the marinating liquid (allow excess vinegar to drain off) and place in a mixing bowl. Discard the remaining vinegar mixture.
• Before serving, add the olive oil, cilantro, and black pepper and toss well. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a fresh sprig of cilantro.
• TECHNIQUES
• Shredding Cabbage
• The slicing side of a box grater works really well for this. However, if you don't have one, you can shred the cabbage with your knife by cutting the cabbage in half, removing its core, and then slicing the cabbage very thinly.
• Marinating the Vegetables
• I find marinating vegetables in a sealed plastic bag that has had all of its air expelled is an efficient way of making sure all the vegetables have been exposed to the marinade. (It is also compact enough to fit easily in your refrigerator.) If you don't have a plastic bag, use whatever container you have on hand. In that case, just make sure to stir the vegetables often.
• ADVANCE PREPARATION
• The vegetables can marinate overnight and will benefit from the extra time. However, in order for the cilantro to stay fresh, toss it with the olive oil no sooner than 1 hour before serving.
