Finely chop the broccoli florets into small, bite-sized pieces. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the Napa cabbage and add it to the bowl with the broccoli.
Peel and julienne the carrots, then slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Chop the green onions and roughly chop the cilantro. Add them to the bowl as well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until fully combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl and toss until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds and ground black pepper over the slaw, then gently toss again.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
