- Place shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl. Pour the ginger sesame dressing over it and toss until the cabbage is evenly coated.

- Allow the cabbage to sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors, then serve it fresh as a side dish.
Notes
For best flavor, let the dish sit for a few minutes before serving. Avoid over-dressing to keep the cabbage crunchy. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For freshness, prepare the dressing separately if planning for leftovers.
