Note
For a more authentic Thai flavor, consider adding a splash of fish sauce, lime juice, and palm sugar, though this base recipe remains vegan as written.
If you prefer milder heat, substitute Serrano chiles with jalapeños or omit them entirely.
This slaw is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, store vegetables separately and toss just before serving to maintain crunch.
