2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon grated ginger or ginger paste
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1-2 tablespoons mirin or honey

8 cups shredded green and red cabbage
2 medium carrots peeled and julienned
1 red bell pepper julienned
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
3 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

Whisk the rice vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, sesame oil, peanut butter, and mirin . It may take several minutes to make it smooth.
Combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, and cilantro in a large bowl.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant. Toss frequently so they do not burn. This takes 3-4 minutes. Immediately remove them from the heat.
Toss the slaw with the peanut dressing and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.
