Instructions

- Add garlic, ginger, scallions to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add in coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, coconut sugar, sesame oil, and sriracha. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes

- To make the easy slaw, add all ingredients to a large bowl and toss to combine. This slaw can be made ahead of time, and will keep for about 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the cabbage by slicing off about 1-2” inches of the end. The leaves should easily come off now. Wash and dry the leaves.
