Notes
Coleslaw mix can be used as a quick shortcut.Napa cabbage creates a softer texture and milder flavor.Add grilled chicken, shrimp, tofu, or edamame to make it a complete meal.For extra spice, add sriracha, chili crisp, or red pepper flakes.Store the dressing separately if making ahead for maximum crunch.
