Author Notes: In my fridge I had a head of green cabbage, apples, a nub of ginger, and three carrots and didn't feel like going to the market to get anything else. I was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing results. - MamaIntheKitchen
Serves 4
- 1/2 Medium Green Cabbage
- 3 Carrots
- 1 large or 2 small Apples- Granny Smith or Jonah Gold
- 1 tablespoon Ginger root
- 3-4 tablespoons Rice wine Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Seasame oil
- 1 tablespoon Light Soy sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- Optional 1 tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
- Slice Cabbage into thin 1/8" strips and put into large bowl.
- Shred/ grate Carrots with coarse side of box grater. Add to bowl with Cabbage.
- Peel and core Apple and cut into matchsticks. Add to bowl with Cabbage and Carrots. Put aside
- Peel Ginger root and grate with medium side of box grater and put in small bowl or cup. Add 3 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and light soy sauce.
- Pour liquid over cabbage mixture and toss all ingredients together so well coated. Let sit for 15-30 minuted before serving so cabbage absorbs vinegar. Add additional tablespoon of vinegar if desired.
- Great refreshing side for Pork buns or dumplings.

I think I will substitute some broccoli and bell pepper for the apple and a Tbsp. of honey; wish me luck.

This is amazing! I added peanut butter to the dressing as well and it was fantastic. Also added some toasted black sesame seeds.

This is really tasty - I love the apple in with the cabbage and carrot. I made a small addition by adding 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter to the dressing. We had this with terryaki burgers on the grilled with pineapple rings. Perfect side!!
