I can't believe this recipe has been here for 5 years with only one review....so glad I found it. I made the following changes: 4 cups cabbage (1/2 med. head). In the dressing, I changed the oil to 1T light olive oil, 1T hemp oil, and 1T sesame oil. Increased the rice vinegar to 4T and used 2T tamari instead of the soy sauce. Absolutely delicious and so simple and fresh!!!!

This is great!! I skipped the bell peppers and I had to use white sugar b/c I couldn't find the brown. I got a little heavy handed with the Tabasco, but it ended up being delicious! I used Napa cabbag and toasted sesame seeds. FDH even ate it (muchh to my surprise!) and said it tasted like Benihanna's salad... A big compliment coming from him. :) I served this with Chinese 5-spice Turkey burgers (posting the recipe today) Thanks for sharing!
