- Red Cabbage: 1/4 head, thinly shredded (optional, for color)
- Green Onions: 2-3, thinly sliced

Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine shredded carrots, Napa cabbage, red cabbage (if using), and green onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup, and grated ginger (if using).
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat everything evenly.

- For best flavor, let the slaw sit for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Can be made ahead.
Notes
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat. Works well as a side for grilled foods.
