Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 large carrots
- 4 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon (optional) chili flakes
Directions
Step 1
Remove the outer leaves from the green cabbage. Slice the cabbage in half and remove the core. Thinly shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and julienne them into thin strips or grate them using a box grater. Add the carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Step 3
Wash and thinly slice the green onions, both the white and green parts. Add these to the bowl.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes (if using) to make the dressing.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Step 6
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad and give it one last gentle toss.
Step 7
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
