Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep Vegetables: Wash and thinly shred green and red cabbage. Peel and grate carrots, chop broccoli into florets, and slice green onions. Place all in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce or tamari, honey or maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, and neutral oil. Add ginger, garlic, and lime juice. Mix until smooth.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour dressing over prep vegetables and toss until evenly coated. Let sit for a few minutes to meld flavors.
  4. Serve Brightly: Top slaw with crispy noodles or wonton strips and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Crisp toppings should be kept separate until serving to maintain crunch. Allowing the slaw to sit enhances its flavor, and dressing can be prepared in advance for deeper taste.
