Most of the vegetables in Ibis tangy slaw are familiar staples, but the

napa cabbage may be new to you. Napa cabbage is a very pale green celery

cabbage with delicate, crinkled leaves. All types of celery cabbage are

popular throughout China, Japan, and Korea, but napa is the variety most

commonly found here~available in most well-stocked supermarkets.

 

The dressing, with sesame oil, mirin, and soy sauce, adds a distinctly

Asian accent to this light and satisfying dish.
