Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, sugar, cider vinegar, water, grated gingerroot, and dark sesame oil until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture.
  4. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all the cabbage and carrots are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch of salt or pepper if desired.
  6. Serve immediately for the crispest texture, or chill for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
