• 2 medium carrots (peeled and grated)
• 1 medium red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1/2 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
• 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the shredded Napa cabbage, grated carrots, sliced red bell pepper, scallions, and chopped cilantro leaves. Mix well.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Gradually whisk in the neutral oil until the dressing is emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
