>>>Recipe Notes
Step 13
* The slaw ingredients like carrots and cabbage can be purchased already shredded at most grocery stores. Although it's slightly more expensive, it can be worth it if you're looking to save time.
Step 14
*Grating fresh ginger can be cumbersome. You can also purchase grated ginger as another time saver for this recipe
Step 15
* This recipe can be prepped a day in advance. Cook the meat as per these instructions, and store separately. Prep all the slaw veggies and store them each in their own resealable plastic bag. Mix and store the dressing in a separate container, and combine the dressing with the rest of the slaw ingredients 15-30 minutes before serving.
