Wow, this makes a LOT of food! I scaled it down to one serving and quite a serving it was! I made some brown rice and mini egg-rolls to go with this but in all honesty they weren't necessary; it is quite filling on its own. I used mushrooms instead of snow peas (had them on hand) and cashews in lieu of almonds (same thing). The marinade/sauce is quite nice, though IMHO it needs a bit of crushed red pepper to offset the brown sugar. I added some to my serving and the table and it was very nice. Thanks for posting--I'm always looking for coleslaw mix recipes since it is always on sale!
