# How to Make It:

02 - Add onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and onion softens.
03 - Stir in the cabbage slaw mix. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until cabbage is wilted but still maintains a slight crunch.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha if using. Pour sauce into the pan and toss to combine, cooking for 1 to 2 additional minutes.
05 - Remove from heat. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and additional toppings as desired. Serve hot or divide into meal prep containers for later use.
