Salad Base

Method

Preparing the Salad Base

  1. 1

    Mix the Vegetables

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced bell peppers, sliced cucumbers, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro. Toss them together until well mixed.

Making the Dressing

  1. 2

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, chili flakes, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves completely.

Combining Salad and Dressing

  1. 3

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the prepared dressing over the salad base. Gently toss the salad to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Adding Toppings

  1. 4

    Finish with Toppings

    Sprinkle the chow mein noodles, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced almonds over the top of the salad. Toss gently again just before serving.

Serving

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a large serving bowl or platter. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
