Halo-Halo Party, Part 2, Asian Slaw

I see nothing wrong with a crunchy, fresh coleslaw to serve with this. A bit school-dinner-ish true, but given the right Asian kick, this really works here. 

Making it about half an hour before you serve it to let the flavours develop is good, but don't make it much further in advance as it can go soggy.

If you can't find Chinese Leaf, don't worry, a savoy cabbage would work fantastically here too.

1)In a food processor (or by hand if you want a nervous breakdown) grate about three peeled carrots, quarter a head of Chinese leaf, and shred them until they are completely slaughtered.

2)Drain and roughly chop two cans of water chestnuts, and chop up three spring onions, a small bit of peeled ginger, and one deseeded green chilli.

3)Make a light dressing with about three tbsp mayonnaise, a reluctant squirt (half a tsp) of the vicious green wasabi paste, a teaspoon of sesame oil, and the juice of one lime. A little salt may be required. Mix it together and toss the vegetables in it until they are all slicked beautifully. Top with a few sliced chillies if you like.
