  • 3 tablespoons minced ginger

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 5 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 4 tablespoons mirin, or white wine

  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

  • 1 cup thinly sliced napa cabbage

  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced romaine1 cup julienned carrots

  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

  • (optional)
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts

  • 1/2 cup edamame beans

  • 1/2 cup julienned snap peas

  • 1/2 cup julienned green onions
