Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
Wash and thinly slice the green onions, both the white and green parts. Add these to the bowl.
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.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad and give it one last gentle toss.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
