Asian kohlrabi slaw

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

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • juice of ½ lime, more to taste
