- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 0.5 cup Peanuts (unsalted, roasted)
- 0.25 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar

- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Instructions
Finely shred the green and red cabbage using a knife, mandoline, or food processor. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Grate the carrots and thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Chop the green onions and cilantro, and add them to the bowl along with the peanuts (reserve some peanuts for garnish if desired).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, sriracha, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the dressing. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more sriracha for heat or lime juice for brightness.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Let the slaw sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with the reserved peanuts before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or topping.
