Well, I thought I had exercised portion control. Three dim sum. One with

coleslaw. Next time, one dim sum and no coleslaw. I was gonna have steak
for dinner. I guess I'll skip it and have it tomorrow instead of that other
'stuff'. Or just commit seppuku.

Make up your own sauce. I use a very simple one - commercial
full-fat old-fashioned mayo (egg and oil) mixed in equal
parts with plain home-made yoghurt, season with cracked
pepper, mix with the sliced cabbage and shredded carrot.

Your dim sums, if they are like the ones down here, are
likely to be encased in a dumpling. That's more of a problem
than the sauces.

The coleslaw would probably be fine if subbed the sugar in the dressing with
splenda. The culprit was the dim sum, I personally would not be having even
one.

I didn't see the "sauces" first time round. Just use a bit of soy and some
wasabi for dipping, but still keep away from the dim sums

An American thing. Surprised me too when I was there. I had
forgotten what KFC coleslaw, my only previous experience of
US-style slaw sauce, did to my BGs when I was first testing.

Yes. Perhaps a taro dough, from the consistancy. That's about what I'd do,
if I was making my own coleslaw, although I'd use sour cream instead of
yoghurt.

I use plain ranch dressing for coleslaw.

Thanks, Ozgirl. The coleslaw came with the dressing and it had been so
long . . .

I think you're right about the dim sum, too. Maybe a half, next time.

I also have this, which I haven't tried yet, from another cyberfriend:

Cole Slaw, Becky's

There really are no set measurements in this recipe, though. I start with
about a cup of Hellman's mayo, add enough apple cider vinegar to make it
very creamy when whisked (maybe between 1/4-1/3 cup), dry mustard, celery
seed, Tabasco, and a bit of Splenda (or sugar, maybe 1/4 teaspoon or more).
Then it's just shredded cabbage, red bell pepper, and Italian parsley.
Dressing poured over, and tossed. It's better the next day!

I can not do Japanese coleslaw. I think it has a ton of sugar in it or
something.

We have many different kinds of coleslaw and it's not always sweet. But most
of it is.

That doesn't always work. I have tried that many times and it often has a
bad, bitter aftertaste. Something with the Splenda reacting with the
cabbage I think.
