Surprisingly Wonderful Broccoli Slaw with Sesame

April 20, 2010 - Jerry - 6 Comments

Before someone asks, the name of this dish was coined my wife. When I asked her what I should call it for the post, she answered immediately “Surprisingly Wonderful Broccoli Slaw with Sesame”, so there you have it.

But of course there’s a story leading up to that point:

Earlier today I asked my wife if she would like some stir fried broccoli slaw.  Her response was to raise an eyebrow, let loose a very well earned supportive sigh and mutter “Sure, Honey.  I’ll try some”. which is nearly equivalent to “Oh my goodness, he’s trying to kill me with food again”.

She’s earned the right to have these moments.  Not all of my ideas end up in something wonderful.  Some don’t even make it into the realm of edible, and for the past 5 years she has had to endure my lows along with my highs.  Yes, she has the right… And  to top it off,  she has apparently never met a broccoli slaw that she’s liked.

Until today, that is.

A few simple ingredients, a hot stir fry pan and a few minutes of your time can generate a product that is far more than the sum of its parts. It’s a perfect side for pork, fish or chicken and lends a wonderful texture to any meal.  It’s 100% vegetarian, so can be served at a mixed dinner party with no shame whatsoever. It’s amazing on its own as well, which makes it perfect for a nearly guilt free afternoon snack, which was how I presented it today.

do you have a favorite use for a store-bought salad or greens mix?  if so, let us know in the comments.  We’d love to hear about it.

What I would have done differently had I thought of it at the time:

Yup. This one gets the big nothing.  It’s perfectly simple and in no need of repair.

    Sometimes the simple recipes are the best. I love the convenience of packaged broccoli slaw.

    I don’t think I’ve ever even thought of buying broccoli slaw because I had no idea how I’d use it. This sounds terrific.

    Lydia,
    Agreed. While I *could* make it myself, it’s just easier to have a package on hand. makes for a very quick dinner

    Jackie,
    You gotta play with your food ;) You’ll be surprised what you come up with. Just look at every ingredient sideways. It’s the place to start
