Asian Coleslaw with Sweet Candied Walnuts

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Asian Coleslaw with Sweet Candied Walnuts.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering your fresh ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, jicama, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro. This colorful mix is not only visually appealing but also packed with nutrients!

2. Step 2

   Next, whisk together the Kikkoman Lime Ponzu, sesame oil, orange juice, and grated ginger in a separate bowl. This zesty dressing will bring all the flavors together beautifully. Pour this delightful mixture over the cabbage blend and toss everything together until well coated. The aroma will be irresistible!

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s add a sweet crunch to our coleslaw. To make the candied walnuts, place 1 cup of walnuts and 1/2 cup of sugar in a skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly as the sugar melts and turns a lovely light brown. This step requires a bit of attention, so keep stirring to ensure the walnuts are evenly coated and don’t burn!

4. Step 4

   Once the sugar has dissolved and the walnuts are beautifully coated, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor. Spread the candied walnuts onto a sheet of aluminum foil to cool. They will harden as they cool, creating a delightful crunch!

5. Step 5

   Finally, sprinkle the cooled candied walnuts over your coleslaw just before serving. This adds a wonderful texture and sweetness that perfectly complements the fresh vegetables. Enjoy your Asian coleslaw with sweet candied walnuts as a side dish or a light meal!
