Vegan KFC Coleslaw

Since we’ve been doing our best to #stayathome, we’ve cut down our food shopping to once a week. Which is completely normal, I know. I’m just used to going grocery shopping almost daily. In part because I’m a bit obsessed with cooking with the freshest produce I can get, but also because of my small and very impractically designed fridge.

Determined to make space in the fridge, I was finally moved to vegan-ize and convert a conventional KFC coleslaw dupe I’d been putting off for a while. A huge white cabbage, bought for a reason I could no longer remember, was taking up a ridiculous amount of precious space in the fridge the past few days and it had to go. I’ll be making another batch tomorrow and fermenting the rest.

DISCLAIMER: I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a nice KFC coleslaw – I can only go by the memories I have of how it tasted. There are many great copycat versions online and I took inspiration from Anna’s conventional and non-vegan recipe from her blog, Crunchy Creamy Sweet.
