Japanese Slaw - Chargrill Charlie's Copycat
Report
This is a copycat of a Japanese Slaw sold at a charcoal chicken chain called Chargrill Charlie's here in Sydney. This slaw-like salad has a Japanese spin with a scattering of edamame, sesame-dressed wakame seaweed salad and a creamy soy dressing. The seaweed totally makes it!Serve it as a side or as a meal with a simple piece of Asian Glazed Salmon or Honey Garlic Chicken Breast.

Ingredients
Japanese Slaw:
- 5 cups (tightly packed) green cabbage , finely shredded (~1/2 medium head, Note 1)
- 2 cups (tightly packed) red cabbage , finely shredded (~1/4 small head, Note 1)
- 1 carrot (medium) , peeled and finely shredded (using a julienne shredder, or box grater, Note 2)
- 2 green onion stems , finely sliced on the diagonal
- 1 cup edamame , cooked per packet directions (Note 3)
- 2/3 cup Japanese seaweed salad , pre dressed (Note 4)
Dressing:
- 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar (sub cider vinegar)
- 1 1/2 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise (Note 5)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar (any type) or 1 1/2 tsp honey
- 1/2 - 1 1/2 tsp Wasabi paste , adjust to taste (entirely optional) (Note 6)
Instructions
- Dressing: Shake Dressing ingredients in a jar until the mayonnaise is fully emulsified. Taste and add more sugar if you want.
- Toss with salad: Place cabbage, carrot, green onion, half the edamame and half the seaweed salad in a bowl. Add about 3/4 of the dressing, toss. (Seaweed will mostly stay in clumps).
- Wilt: Set aside for 15 minutes to let the cabbage wilt a bit.
- Serve: Toss again, then pile onto serving platter or bowl. Drape over remaining seaweed salad (in clumps) and edamame, drizzle with remaining Dressing. Serve!
Notes
- Cabbage measurement - By "tightly packed", I mean you stuff the cabbage into cup measures then pack it down tightly. That is 1 tightly packed cup. When you tip it into the bowl, it will seemingly double in volume.
- Carrot shredding – I use a shredder tool that creates really thin strands, it cost a pittance from an Asian store. The finer the strands, the better. Fallback: Standard box grater.
- Edamame – The fresh beans of young soybeans, easily found these days in the freezer section of everyday grocery stores alongside peas! Cook per packet directions.
- Japanese Seaweed Salad - Sold pre-dressed in a delicious sweet sesame dressing which forms part of the overall flavour of this dish. Find it at fresh seafood stores, and Asian or Japanese grocery stores. Also sold frozen, such as at Costco.
- Kewpie mayonnaise – A popular Japanese mayonnaise easily found these days in the Asian section of grocery stores. Famed for its smooth flavour and gentle rice vinegar tang! Sub with any mayo. It makes the dressing extra creamy, like you get at Chargrill Charlie's. Feel free to skip it (no sub needed).
- Wasabi paste - The Chargrill Charlie's salad has a distinct kick to it which can only be wasabi! Sold in tubes in the Asian section of grocery stores, fairly accessible these days. Just use as much or as little as you want. I use 1 1/2 tsp of tube paste. If you have fresh wasabi, a) I want to be you; b) use 1/2 tsp (fresh is much stronger than store bought paste).
