Because Napa cabbage is rather delicate, this versatile slaw, with sesame seeds, rice vinegar, miso, and carrots, is best made just a few hours before serving. All of the ingredients can be prepped the day before, but we suggest that you toss them with the dressing just an hour or two before eating so the cabbage doesn't break down or wilt. For a sweet version of this dish, leave out the carrot and add a cup of diced fresh pineapple and some chopped fresh cilantro in its place.
