Asian Coleslaw Recipe
Asian Coleslaw Notes
This recipe was used by Chef Kevin Bozis and Chef Jennifer "JR" Statz for a Stirring Things Up in Chicago Event at the Old Town shop in June 2005.
Patty and Tom Erd spoke about ethnic Chicago spices and blends, and the guests were served five different ethnic dishes. Asian Coleslaw was served with the Chinese 5 Spice Marinated Pork Satay. This dish represents the cuisine of Chinatown.
