Ingredients
- 1 small head Savoy cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 1 small bunch Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce

- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds or white sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions
Cut the savoy cabbage in half and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into shreds and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the scallions and roughly chop the cilantro leaves. Add both to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the sesame dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish, if using.
Cover the bowl and let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light meal.
