30 Second Asian Coleslaw

I was browsing the fridge at lunchtime today, and came up with this slaw with an asian twist. To make the dressing add a small (thumbnail size) peeled peice of fresh ginger, 30 g mirin, 30g rice vinegar, 20g light soy sauce, 1 tsp palm sugar (I used coconut sugar instead) and a few drops of sesame oil. Blitz at speed 8 for 10 seconds or until the ginger is nearly invisible as it's been chopped so small. Leave the dressing in the bowl and add 1/4 small red cabbage chopped roughly, 1/2 cup of fresh beanshoots and 1 peeled carrot also roughly chopped. I also added 50g of leftover BBQ chicken meat but this would be optional. Blitz at speed 5 just 1 or 2 seconds at a time until you get the size of dice that suits you. 30 seconds to make a healthy and yummy lunch time salad! You could easily add any other hard veg you fancy, like broccoli, celery or cauliflower for example. This recipe served two for lunch, or as a side could have easily been enough for the whole family.
