Hot & Sour Slaw

I don't know..this sounds kind of good to me!

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 made this cabbage and it was pretty good. I bought broccoli slaw instead of cutting cabbage myself. And, I added a little sugar, because without it, the slaw isn't good. But it is a bit spicy and I plan to make it again really soon. "
