If you like KFC style wet slaw, then this recipe is as easy, and as close as it gets. Very refreshing, and tasty. I've converted several creamy slaw lovers with this recipe.
Chief's Juicy Col Slaw Recipe:
Ingredients:
Cole Slaw:
I love the Cole Slaw served at a familiar chicken restaurant. It is soooo juicy and sweet, with the tangy flavors of cabbage and onion perfectly blended together with salad dressing, and carrot. Through good old trial and error, I developed this recipe for a wonderfully juicy slaw. The secret is the grated cabbage, which just draws up moisture with every bite.
I can’t give you exact measurements as I add a bit of this and that until it tastes just right. I can give you approximate measurements though, and the little extra something that turns regular slaw into the really good stuff. This version almost quenches your thirst. Hope you like it.
Ingredients:
1 medium head green or purple Cabbage (I prefer green)
½ onion
3 tbs. Splenda or Sugar
2 carrots
½ cup tangy salad dressing (sandwich spread, like Miracle Whip)
¼ cup Ice Water
Quarter the cabbage and shred on medium grater. Peel, then finely chop the onion. Peel, then using a vegetable peeler, shave all of the carrots and add to the cabbage with the remaining ingredients. Let set for five minutes; then taste. Add more sweetener, or salad dressing to get the flavor you desire. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
My mother used to add raisins, and dice apple to her slaw. I don’t, but it’s tasty. A natural side for this is hot, or cold baked beans, and maybe some fresh corn on the cob.
As a coating for fish, I've tried everything from straight flour. to tempura, corn meal, and commercial coatings, including Panko, and regular bread crumbs. One that gave ne great texture, and flavor, was dredging in flour, egg wash, then uncooked farina, seasoned with S & P. Of course you can season with Old Bay, paprika, whatever you like.
