For the Salad

  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar can be a great substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil Vegetable oil can lighten the taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Use maple syrup for a vegan alternative.

Method
 

Steps
  1. Wash and shred the green and red cabbage. Grate the carrots, trim the snap peas, slice the bell pepper, and chop the green onions and cilantro. Arrange everything in bowls for easy access.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the prepared vegetables. Pour the dressing over the top, ensuring even coating of all the veggies for maximum flavor.
  4. Gently toss the salad to coat all the ingredients and allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Give the salad another gentle toss before serving. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or sliced almonds on top. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
