I hear “Oriental” is politically incorrect. Alrighty then. “Asian” is a simple swap seeing it is easier to pronounce. Any-hoo… my family used to make a mean Oriental Asian Slaw with cabbage, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and those crunchy rice noodle things. Should I re-create it for the blog? I think I will.

Low Sugar Orange Tofu (you can throw this on the wraps to switch up your protein source, FYI!)

  1. Love these kimchi lettuce wraps! Gut health for the win. However, you might want to delete that last part about Asian slaw. It comes across as “stuck in old ways,” and a little annoyed. Just thought you might wanna kno. Other than that, your site is great! Will def refer to friends.
