Notes

This Asian salad can also be made with green cabbage, white cabbage, or napa cabbage.
Two cloves of garlic make this salad very garlicky. If you want a milder garlic flavor, add less garlic.
Ground black pepper can also be added to this dish for more flavor and kick.
You can also add roasted peanuts or cashew nuts for crunch.
Ingredients like thinly sliced red onions, bean sprouts and enoki mushrooms can be added too. If using enoki mushrooms, blanch them for 1-2 minutes before adding to the salad.
