Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
1. In a large colander, toss the cabbage with the salt. Top the cabbage with a plate, weight the plate with a 1-pound can, and let drain in the sink for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. Rinse and drain the cabbage completely.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, ginger, and pepper flakes until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss to combine well.
3. Store refrigerated, covered, stirring occasionally, until very cold.
4. In the colander, drain the slaw. Taste and adjust the seasonings, especially the salt. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the cilantro.
