This is the second round of @progressivechef's #Steemit-ironchef. This week's theme is the humble CARROT. I am reallly enjoying these challenges, and really am trying to only use my own original recipes. This is my favourite salad to serve at barbeques, and with my Jerk Chicken
I invented this Asian inspired coleslaw when @morkrock and I were running a restaurant a few years ago. This was a side for the tacos and burgers that were on the menu.
INGREDIENTS
- 1,5 cups mayonnaise
- 4 medium carrots, peeled
- 1/2 small red cabbage
- 250g salted peanuts
- bunch coriander
- 2 T garam masala curry powder
- 2 T soy sauce
- 1 t sesame seed oil
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1 T brown sugar
METHOD
In a small bowl, mix the mayo with the sesame seed oil, soy sauce, garam masala, cinnamon and brown sugar. This will all come down to personal taste, but i like to this dressing to have a sweet, nutty, aromatic flavour.
Chop the coriander very finely, then grate the carrots and slice up the red cabbage. Combine in your serving bowl and dress with a bit of mayo. Add your peanuts and a squeeze of lemon.
Enjoy this delicious salad, and please let me know if you try it!

Yesss! @princessmewmew is here again! Wow I never knew that you used to run a restaurant before, that's nice my friend!
Lovely take on the coleslaw here with the sesame oil, soy sauce, garam masala, cinnamon and brown sugar added in the mayo!
I used to add sesame oil and wasabi in mayo in the past!
Thanks so much for entering again in steemit iron chef!
@progressivechef
Ooh, gurl I love wasabi, sounds like a great combo!
I'm reallly enjoying the challenge! Thank you for inviting me x
I knew you were a pro cook!! =D
This is so colourful..garam masala curry powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon in your sauce..I have to like this one just for that cool combo alone =P
Hehehe! I try. Definitely not a PRO
Yes, the crumbly, crunchy brown sugar adds a lovely texture and sweetness to an otherwise quite acidic dressing. The warm roundness of the garam masala loves the sugar too :)
Thank you for your vote!

You ran a restaurant?? It must have been such an honor to eat there :) I love your cooking style! This looks super delicious!
Yeah we did! It was really fun, but the area was bad, so we closed βΉοΈ
Ouh that's a pity :( maybe someday some other beautiful opportunity will come along!
I do miss it, but my dream is to have a sweet little boutique hotel, somewhere in Cape Town.
If you believe in it hard enough it will come true. I am sure of it!
That sounds like a line out of Peter Pan π
