The mild flavor and crisp texture of napa is especially good in this recipe. You can substitute angel hair slaw, which is shredded, prepackaged cabbage. It has a slightly stronger flavor.

Options:
1/2 c roasted peanuts
1 c edamame


We had this all tossed together with an Asian vinaigrette and it was amazing good!
