Our Japanese-Style Hamburgers demanded a vegetable side, with some crispy/crunchy texture to contrast with the tenderness of the hamburgers. I have been considering making this recipe for Asian Winter Slaw ever since I happened across a bag of broccoli slaw at Trader Joe's. Have I mentioned recently how much I love that place? Anyway, the slaw seemed like the perfect accompaniment to the burgers so we went ahead and threw it together today. It's light and crunchy, and the flavor of the white miso in the dressing is really nice. It has never occurred to me to make an Asian-inspired slaw using miso paste, nor did it ever cross my mind that you could make a broccoli slaw. That is partially due to the fact that I don't typically like coleslaw all that much, although I do make an exception for good Asian versions of coleslaw. I thought that the very crunchy texture of the broccoli slaw was perfect with the burgers. A more traditional cabbage slaw just wouldn't have provided enough textural contrast.
