Pickle Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the shallots, mayo, sugar, pickle juice, hot sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl. Let it marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes to help tone down the shallots.
• Add half of the cabbage to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, about ten times. Transfer to the bowl with the dressing and repeat with the remaining cabbage. Mix in the carrots. Season to taste and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, oil, sugar, mustard, and celery seed for dressing in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, combine cabbage, onion, sugar, and salt for coleslaw in a bowl.
• Pour hot dressing over cabbage mixture and mix until incorporated. Place in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Whisk together the honey, vinegar, mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking to combine. Season well with salt and pepper. (Alternatively, add the honey, vinegar, mayonnaise and mustard to a mason jar with a lid, cover and shake well. Add the oil and shake well once more.)
• Combine the cabbage, red onion, Chinese celery and pickles to taste in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix well. Taste and season with salt and pepper. For an extra kick of flavor, mix in some pickle juice if using to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Arrange the chicken thighs on a work surface, smooth side up. Using kitchen shears, make a few cuts in the thickest part of the chicken thigh. This will help the chicken cook evenly and will also help the brine absorb. Add the chicken to a large bowl and cover with 2 cups of pickle juice. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, remove the chicken from the pickle juice and pat dry. Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Fill a large Dutch oven with about 3-inches of vegetable, attach a deep fat fry thermometer and heat to 350 degrees F.
• When the oil is almost heated, make your batter: Add the tempura mix, tapioca flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to a medium bowl, pour in the club soda and whisk to combine. It should be slightly thinner than pancake batter.
• Working in batches, dredge the chicken in the batter, allowing the batter to cover the chicken fully. Shake off any excess batter. Transfer the chicken to the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp with an internal temperature is 165 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a wire rack and sprinkle with salt. Fry the remaining chicken.
• To assemble the sandwiches: open the buns and lay them cut side-up on a clean work surface. Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the top and bottom halves of the buns. Place a piece of chicken on each bottom bun. Top each piece of chicken with a heaping 1/2 cup of slaw. Place the top buns on the sandwiches and serve.
• Add the shredded cabbage to a medium bowl and add the pickle juice, vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using clean hands, massage the cabbage to help it slightly break down. Add the mustard, pickle, onion and dill. Toss well to combine. Keep the slaw refrigerated until you're ready to assemble the sandwiches. Any leftover slaw can be stored in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.

Steps:

• Toss the cabbage, cucumber and carrots together in a heatproof bowl, then set aside.
• Bring the vinegars, sugar and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage mixture, tossing to make sure all the veggies are covered. Let sit for 15 minutes. Use the slaw to add flavor to your favorite Asian bowl or sandwich. Vegetables can be kept in their pickling liquid in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Put the cabbage and onion in a bowl, season with salt and a small pinch of sugar and leave for 30 mins.
• Stir the carrot, jalapeños and their pickling liquid through the cabbage. If making ahead, prep the vegetables but don't season or dress until the last minute.

Steps:

• Make the slaw: Put the chopped and diced vegetables in a bowl or other container that will fit in the refrigerator.
• Make the dressing: Crush the garlic, and with the side of a knife work the salt into the clove until it makes a rough paste. Add the garlic paste, ginger, vinegar, oil and 1/3 cup water to a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring now and then. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 1 or 2 minutes, then pour over the vegetables, tossing well to combine. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, toss with the lime juice and a few grinds of black pepper. Taste and add salt if needed.

Steps:

• Cut the cabbages in half and remove the core from each side. Cut each half in half and slice each resulting quarter into thin ribbons. Mix with carrots and apples in a large nonreactive bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
• Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss. Season to taste. The coleslaw may be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. Toss again before serving.
