This delicious Asian-style coleslaw is a great side for any meal (it goes well with Marion’s char siu glazed ham). Toss it together in next to no time using purple and white cabbage for colour, and crispy fried shallots as a crunchy topping. Drizzle with honey sesame dressing and put it on the table.
