If you have time and a mandolin, the vegetables for this slaw can be finely shredded, but when you have very little time, slaw chopped with the thermomix can be ready in seconds. Put in the roughly cut vegetables and herbs and blend 5 seconds, speed 4, then add 2-3 seconds at speed 4 until your preferred texture is reached. Sometimes I will add the splashes of the dressing ingredients to the vegetables in the thermomix before I chop, other times make the dressing and toss into the coleslaw. Added some grilled chicken and nuts for protein to the slaw.
Asian slaw

- 1 cup mint leaves (a handful works fine)
- 1 cup cilantro leaves (a handful works fine)
- 1/2 Tbs. toasted sesame seeds

Asian Slaw Dressing

- 1-1/2 Tbs. honey
- 1 Tbs. sesame oil
- 1 Tbs. mirin

Tomato soup using thermomix guided recipe is the side dish. Dinner done with very little effort. And great to see kids eating all the vegetables. And leftovers the next day taste even better with more time for the flavours to absorb.
