    Won’t that dry out quickly? The way I was taught was to serve with a slotted spoon, and that the liquid will keep it fresh.

    Interesting thing about carrots and cabbage: they’re mostly water

  3. Particular-Skirt963

    I think commercially its supposed to be like that. Itd be trash in a household though

    You are supposed to salt your cabbage first and let it drain then mix wet ingredients

  5. oneangrywaiter

    Guessing they didn’t salt and degorge the cabbage before making it.

    At that point, it’s not coleslaw, it’s cabbage gazpacho.

    Someone doesn’t remember a key step.

    Slaw dressing will draw a lot of moisture out of the veggies

    This is the reason it took me until being an adult to finally like coleslaw. It was more soup than anything with the restaurants and family that made it. I called it coleslop until I had it made by someone who cared.

    The urge to dip biscuits in the slaw juice

    Gotta salt that cabbage if you want good slaw. Salt, let it sit for half an hour, then rinse it and wring it out. It’s a shame not to. Good slaw deserves some respect

    Had you considered they were just making a really strange soup

    The best coleslaw in the world is at Burger Barn, Irvine KY. It’s sloppy, wet, and crunchy. And dipping their fries in it is heaven on earth.

    This comment was typed five years ago, before they got bought out and ruined.

    if this was destined to be a garnish for the burgers, i’d like to have a private chat with your fella about what happens after the plate leaves the kitchen.

    Thank you. I love a mayo/buttermilk based creamy coleslaw on occasion but I had some fried fish with a side of slaw soup the other day that was really disappointing haha

    I’m not saying it’s right, but at the little BBQ restaurant I worked at we never salted the cabbage and it still came out NOTHING like this 😅

  17. AggravatingFlow1178

    Cabbage was not salted + drained before adding sauce.

    coleslaw is an eastern european soup no?

    The post-draining photo looks exactly like my grandmother’s coleslaw. I’ve been trying to figure out how she made the ‘slaw so deliciously creamy for YEARS, was this the secret all along? Doing whatever the hell your coworker did?

    I didn’t notice the sub and thought this was gonna be one of those “the amount of liquid that I *drained from this patient’s access*” kinda posts.

    The problem I see here is that coleslaw exists.

  22. Jillredhanded

    Toss the slaw mix with just barely a drizzle of ACV and generous S&P. Dump into a pref HP and press overnight to drain. Dress per spec.

    Is there anything y’all do with the cabbage juice after straining/pressing/spinning?

  24. DescriptionAlert400

    The cylinder has started producing liquid

  25. ImtheDude27

    That’s not cole slaw, that’s cole soup. I can’t figure out how anyone would have that much liquid without purposely doing it.

    Take that juice and dip hot dog buns in it.

    Top with mustard, a spiral cut hot dog deep fried in chicken grease, finish with hotdog chili made by an abuela and chives from chive guys finest day.

    Bless you.

    There’s nothing worse than coleslaw soup.
