Ingredients
- 4 cups Cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions
Step 1
Finely shred the cabbage (about 4 cups) and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel and grate the carrot, then add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Step 3
Chop the roasted peanuts coarsely and set aside a small portion for garnish.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic clove, and sesame oil until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time to thin it out slightly.

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top and gently mix again.
Step 7
Slice the green onions and use them as a garnish along with the reserved peanuts.

Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a crunchy side dish or let it sit for 5 minutes for the flavors to meld.
