Notes

  • Finer shred: Thinly shred the cabbage for quicker flavor absorption.
  • Let the slaw sit for about 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and for the cabbage to slightly soften.
  • Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings according to your preference.
