Tips and Tricks
- Opt for a pre-shredded cabbage mix to save time, or shred your own green and red cabbage for a fresher taste.
- Use a sharp chef’s knife for thinly slicing the cabbage if making your own mix.
- Consistency is key, so using a mandolin for the carrots can provide uniform strips that integrate better for an even texture.
