When I was a kid, I wouldn't eat coleslaw. I think I found something off-putting about the goopy mayo that it often came loaded with and sometimes the occasional raisin. Ick. But sometime in the post-college, nicer-dinner-restaurants years, I ate grown up versions that cut out the mayo and were fresh and tasty. So now I find it one of my favorite salads to make at home- crispy shreds of raw cabbage, slivers of carrots, strips of apple and a handful of fried peanuts all tossed in my favorite miso dressing with a dash of mustard- that is fast and easy and delivers satisfying crunch and sweetness.
a journal of finding good food and restaurants i love to eat in Taipei when I'm not in Los Angeles. looking forward to hearing from other food lovers about where your favorite places to eat are, so i can try them next!
