Tips:

Select Crisp Vegetables: Choose firm and crisp carrots, radishes, and cabbage for the best slaw texture.
Grate Evenly: Use a food processor or mandoline slicer to ensure uniform grating of the vegetables for a consistent texture.
Adjust Spice Level: Customize the spiciness by adding more or less ginger and cayenne pepper to suit your taste preferences.
Freshly Grated Ginger: Use freshly grated ginger for the best flavor and aroma; pre-ground ginger may lack the same intensity.
