Since the kunkoki is Asian-inspired (Korean?) I'd go with the vinegar
and oil dressing on the slaw. You could throw in a few toasted sesame
seeds to continue the theme.

Wild rice would be a valid "fusion" element :>

Either vegetable would go with the meal (unless one of the diners has
a "problem" with cabbage family vegetables).

Dessert- orange slices, or ice cream (vanilla, creamsicle, or green
tea). If you had agar-agar you could make almond jelly. Poached
pears? Or how about your cream cheese coffee cake with orange
marmalade?
