This raw crack slaw recipe shows you how to make coleslaw-style crack slaw. While crack slaw is usually made hot in a wok and served like a Chinese dish, this recipe is different, surprisingly so if you have made the regular kind a few times already.
Instead of being cooked the cabbage mixture is tossed together cold and then you let it stand until the flavors are better blended. Then serve it raw. Yep, this is a recipe for raw crack slaw, and it tastes fantastic!
Raw Crack Slaw: Tips
Flavored with all the best ingredients like vinegar, citrus juice and sesame oil, this raw crack slaw will fulfill all your hunger pangs and leave you really satisfied. Serve it alongside steak, chicken or fish, or just have it by itself.
You can make this and take it to work in a sealed container, enjoying it at room temperature, or make a batch and enjoy it over the course of the next few days as a tasty side dish or whenever you fancy a snack.
A lot of people are not sure which crack slaw recipe to make first, and I always suggest making a classic crack slaw recipe. This is simply because that is the original one unless you expressly want something raw or you don’t want to cook for whatever reason.

This coleslaw crack slaw recipe will satisfy you completely and the crunch is part of what makes it so good.
You could cook regular classic crack slaw to al dente but if it is crunch you want then make this version. The flavor won’t let you down and you will love the texture too.
