Asian Slaw
Asian Slaw combines coleslaw mix with green onions, cilantro, and crunchy noodles tossed in a spicy-sour dressing made from mayonnaise, sriracha, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and garlic. The dressing melds creamy, tangy, and umami flavors with a hint of heat. Letting the slaw wilt before serving softens the base while preserving crisp noodles for texture contrast. Garnishing with extra cilantro completes this flavorful, textured side dish.

Notes
- Substitute soy sauce for fish sauce if needed; fish sauce adds umami without fishiness.
- Use fried wonton strips or chow mein noodles if Asian crunchy noodles aren't available.
