Left over coleslaw

Besides the gourmet potatoes I asked about I have a huge lot of coleslaw(2kg) (without dressing).Ideas how to use it would be greatly received.Thanks

Is it mainly cabbage and carrot!You could make a soup - bacon and vege, chicken and vege.As long as you use good home made stock it will taste good.Add some onion if there isn't any in the coleslaw veges.

I would of course ferment it into sauerkraut :)

Yes, mainly cabbage and the carrot has run through it really fast!

nettie14, your coleslaw could be used for a stir-fry, orKe-Si-Ming, or Mince Chow Mein and also as uli has suggested, okonomiyaki - there's an easy recipe at:-

If you want/need a recipe for Ke-Si-Ming I can post one for you later but right now I need to have dinner before I go to do my secretarial pen-pushing at a meeting.Please do ask though if you'd like the recipe I have - it, like the chow mein recipe that I also have, uses half a cabbage so would go some way towards using your surplus coleslaw.

Hope that helps.:-))
