Ingredients

  • 1 napa cabbage (or just green cabbage)
  • 1 bunch scallion
  • 2 carrots, sliced into thin sticks
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup tamari or 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 -2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 5 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • black sesame seed, toasted for garnish (optional)

Method

  • Slice cabbage into thin ribbons and place in a large bowl.
  • Slice carrots into thin sticks and place with the cabbage (I like to cut the carrot into 4 sections, cut each section in half, and then turn upside down and slice thinly).
  • Chop scallions and place with the cabbage and carrots.
  • Combine the tamari, rice vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl (this is the dressing).
  • Pour dressing gradually over the salad while mixing - I like it better lightly dressed, and reserve some for those who like extra dressing!
  • Add chopped cilantro and sesame seeds and mix again.
  • This salad gets better as it sits!
