Asian kohlrabi slaw

Name: Asian kohlrabi slaw

Yield: 6

Serves 6 15 min

Bulbous kohlrabi (also known as cabbage turnip) has a lovely radishy crunch and a turnipy mildness that works beautifully in this zingy, bright and refreshing coleslaw. It stands up well as a packed lunch, or is an excellent accompaniment to a barbecue. This uses coconut cream so is a good one for vegans.

Cook's notes

Roasted rice adds crunch and nutty flavour. To make it, cover some jasmine rice with cold water and leave for 5 mins. Drain and lay on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake at 200°C/Gas 6 for 20-30 mins until golden. Crush to a coarse powdery texture in a pestle and mortar, or blitz in a processor.

1 kohlrabi, coarsely grated
1 pepper, finely sliced
1 chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
2 spring onions, finely sliced
3 tbsp coconut cream
1 tbsp soy sauce
juice of ½ lime, more to taste
50g roasted rice (or chopped peanuts)
small handful coriander leaves
25g dried coconut shreds, toasted in a dry frying pan until golden (or use dessicated coconut)
