- ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Dressing
- 3 tbsp gochujang (adjust for spice level)
- 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp sugar (or honey)

Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Shred the green cabbage, grate the carrots, and thinly slice the red bell pepper to create fresh, crunchy components for the slaw.
