4 servings

1/4 cup rice vinegar
4 - 8 teas. sesame oil
4 teas. splenda
4 teas. chopped ginger
2 teas. toasted sesame seeds
salt and pepper

Shake ingredients together and adjust all proportions to taste. Pour over one head shredded cabbage, I prefer Savoy cabbage, or one bag store-bought pre-shredded cabbage sans carrots). Mix together and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours.

MMMMMMM. This would be good with my pulled pork! I had been buying the walden farms, but I might try this!

It's really yummy! You can substitute 1 teas of ground ginger if you don't have fresh and I usually don't add all the Splenda, as I don't like it too sweet. I use the toasted sesame oil made by International Oils, which I highly recommend. All their oils are fabulous!

Careful w/ the rice vinegar; check the label! Mine says 5g sugar per 1T vinegar. I've been subbing white wine vinegar & splenda, a better choice (for me) with a similar flavor-

Then you need to change brands! I use Marukan Rice Vinegar and it has no sodium and NO sugar. Zero calories, zero fat, zero carbs. Ingredients: water, rice.

Point being: not all vinegars are created equal, it pays to read the label-
Happy Friday!

Usually it's the "seasoned" rice vinegar that has sugar. Plain does not.
