Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and peeling the carrots. Using a julienne peeler or a box grater, create thin, uniform strips. Place the shredded carrots in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the shredded carrots and toss thoroughly to ensure even coating.
  4. Gently fold in the toasted sesame seeds and fresh herbs, mixing carefully to maintain texture.
  5. Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
