Widely used in Asian cuisines, rice vinegar is made from fermented rice and is a bit milder than most Western vinegars. It is available either plain or sweetened (also known as seasoned rice vinegar). Use the unseasoned variety for this recipe.

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 Tbs. grated fresh ginger
5 Tbs. unseasoned rice vinegar
5 tsp. fish sauce
5 tsp. sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1 Tbs. toasted sesame oil
1/2 lb. crabmeat, picked over to remove any shell fragments
1/2 large yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced

1/4 red cabbage, thinly sliced
2 large carrots, peeled and grated
6 green onions, white and light green portions, sliced diagonally
3 large radishes, thinly sliced
3 Tbs. toasted sesame seeds

Directions

In a small food processor, pulse together the garlic, ginger, vinegar, fish sauce and sugar. With the machine running, drizzle in the canola and sesame oils and process until smooth.

In a small bowl, stir together the crabmeat, 2 Tbs. each of the yellow and red bell peppers, the 2 Tbs. cilantro and 2 Tbs. of the dressing. Set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the green and red cabbages, the remaining bell peppers, the carrots, green onions, radishes, the 1/4 cup cilantro and 2 Tbs. of the sesame seeds until well combined. Add the remaining dressing and stir to combine.

Divide the slaw among 4 bowls or plates and top each with one-fourth of the crab mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 Tbs. sesame seeds and serve immediately. Serves 4.
