• Put all the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well to combine. Pour over the cucumber/sprouts, and mix well. Top with sesame seeds.
• NOTE: I find that letting the salad sit a few ours in the fridge helps the texture and flavors mix. In fact, I prefer this salad the next day.

• Drain water from the pot and run cold water on the sprouts for 1 to 2 minutes. Squeeze bean sprouts with your hands to remove excess water. Place sprouts and cabbage into a mixing bowl and add carrot, green onion, and dressing; mix well.
