Directions

Mix the broccoli, cabbage and bok choy together in a large bowl. Coat with vinegar, tamari, and oil.

Using your hands, massage everything for several minutes to begin breaking down the vegetables for easy digestion. If you want, you can steam the veggies for a few minutes until tender instead, your choice.

Stir in the sesame seeds and the carrots. Serve at room temperature.

If you’re not cooking them first, simply allow the veggies to marinate and soften in the bowl for 15 minutes. If you do cook them, just toss with ingredients and serve immediately.
