instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together the white part of the scallions, the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, salt and pepper. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Prep the rest of the ingredients.
2. Next, while constantly whisking, drizzle the honey, canola oil and sesame oil into the scallion-vinegar mixture. Taste the vinaigrette and add more oil, soy sauce, lime juice or honey to balance the tastes.
3. Toss the green part of scallions, the cabbage and the carrots in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette a little at a time until the slaw tastes good but isn't too heavy with dressing. Stir in the fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts.
