Hot & Sour Slaw

From EatingWell: July/August 2008

This slaw, a combination of cabbage, red bell pepper, scallions and bamboo shoots, is tossed with a dressing full of the classic flavors of Chinese hot-and-sour soup. Serve with grilled pork tenderloin and a glass of Riesling.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I found the recipe quite bland. I used perhaps 3x the amount of vinegar, toasted sesame oil & ginger to give it some flavor. "
