Asian Cabbage Slaw

This is a great side using cabbage. I've learned my problem with cabbage slaws tend to be the mayonnaise in them (which is interesting because normally, I can eat mayo straight out of the jar!). We made this to eat with a ginger snap pea stir fry that someone brought us for supper. I use the optional ingredients as I have them available. I've left all of them out and just used cabbage and it's great.
