Crackslaw is a low carb skillet recipe built around shredded cabbage and bold seasonings. The original beef recipe is the best place to start, with savory flavor, a little heat and a generous portion of vegetables in the pan.
There are also chicken, pork, lamb, veal, seafood and meat-free versions. The seasoning changes from recipe to recipe, with options including teriyaki, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, Mexican spices and Greek-inspired flavors.
Most of the recipes are cooked in a skillet, but there is also a chilled raw crackslaw for days when crisp shredded vegetables sound better. Browse the recipes below and pick whichever crackslaw recipe suits your appetite and what’s in the refrigerator!
