Ingredients
- ½ head green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 cups bean sprouts or sunflower sprouts
- ½ cup crispy fried shallots
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tbsp sesame seeds (white, black, or mixed)
Instructions
- 1
Slice cabbage as thin as you can — use a mandoline if you have one. Toss into a large bowl.
- 2
Add sprouts to the bowl. In a small dish, whisk sesame oil, rice vinegar, and minced ginger until combined.
- 3
Pour dressing over the slaw and toss hard for 30 seconds — you want the cabbage to soften just slightly.
- 4
Divide slaw between bowls or plates. Top with crispy shallots and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
