Notes
Tons of optional ingredients in here. I've done it with red pepper, red onion, chili peppers or jalapeno..the key ingredients are cabbage, kimchi, carrots and sesame.
As compared to a "regular" coleslaw, the major substitutions are in the vinegar and choice of oil.
I've never done this with a mayo/cream base, but as I type this out, that sounds pretty tasty as well.
