I added toasted sesame seeds in the recipe, and I think this did the whole difference.

hobbychef

I added cider vinegar & mango, used both red and green cabbage. The slaw was delicious.

NYC mom

Pretty boring. I added toasted sesame oil, honey and craisins.

Sam

I added a tablespoon of avocado oil but think toasted sesame would be even better. Delicious with or without the added oil.

Excellent, so quick and easy to make and delicious! Followed the recipe, with addition of toasted sesame seeds. Great zesty side with bacon, tomato, avocado, mayo sandwiches on toast with basil leaves in place of lettuce.

This recipe worked well, I got rave reviews from the eaters, and enjoyed it myself. Be careful to get the ginger sliced thinly. Next time I'll try with sesame seeds or peanuts.
