Asian Broccoli Slaw (with Sriracha!)

By Hapemom

Came across this in my hunt for Sriracha recipes (hot chili sauce -found in the Chinese section of grocery store). I've become addicted. I love the addition of pear!
If you buy the packaged broccoli slaw at the supermarket, you'll save some time. Serves 4 as a side dish .... or add some shredded rotisserie chicken, and the salad becomes a perfect lunch or picnic dish.

Ingredients

• For the sauce:
• 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
• 2 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp agave nectar (can substitute honey)
• 1 tsp Sriracha, or more to taste
• 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
• Juice of 1 small lime
• For the slaw:
• 1 *1 cup shredded broccoli stems, blanched and rinsed under cold water
• 1 *1 cup shredded carrot
• 1 *1 cup shredded red cabbage
• (*or 1 12-oz bag prepared broccoli slaw)
• 1 small ripe pear, cut into long, thin strips

Preparation

Step 1

In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine all sauce ingredients and shake well. Taste, and adjust with more or less of any ingredient. Store in the refrigerator if making ahead.

Combine broccoli, carrot, cabbage (or broccoli slaw) and pear in a mixing bowl. Pour on the dressing, and toss well. Let sit at room temperature for up to one hour, or make up to six hours ahead and store in the refrigerator.
