Tangy Ginger Coleslaw Recipe

Pickled ginger and the pickling liquid are the key ingredients in this coleslaw. I make my own, following the recipe linked to below, but you can buy it in asian markets as well. Try to find a brand that's refrigerated; it tends to be of better quality. If you purchase it in jars, look for a brand that does not contain aspartame, which not only can make the ginger bitter but studies show is a dangerous food additive for many. If you can't find any quality pickled ginger, you can use minced fresh ginger and seasoned rice vinegar instead of the pickling liquid.
