This vibrant cabbage slaw is a delightful mix of spicy and tangy flavors, perfect as a side dish or a topping for tacos.
Thinly slice the napa cabbage and scallions and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the cabbage is sliced evenly for a consistent texture.
In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, ginger, sugar, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Stir the dressing constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Pour the warm dressing over the cabbage and scallions. Toss well to combine.
Toss thoroughly to ensure the dressing coats all the vegetables evenly.
Transfer the slaw to a serving bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Letting the slaw rest enhances the flavor as the dressing penetrates the vegetables.
Serve the slaw as a side dish or a topping for your favorite dishes.
Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs for an extra touch.
