Sweet and Spicy Slaw

Gochujang brings the heat to this refreshing salad

Slaw made with spicy Gochujang and sweet honey

I had half a leftover cabbage and jalapeno and some roasted sesame seeds. It's amazing to me how much cabbage is in a cabbage. I keep cutting it down and seemingly to be an endless amount. I designed this recipe to compliment Gochujang Mac and Cheese, which can be heavy without some acid and freshness from vegetables, but it can be served alongside any meal where there is a lot of fattiness from another dish.

The recipe calls for vinegar. I was originally going to use rice vinegar, but there was none in the cupboard so I used red wine vinegar.
