2 pinch sugar
1 piece ginger
6 green onions
1/4 c. peanuts
1 bunch fresh basil leaves
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves
1 bunch fresh mint leaves

Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss really well to coat all the ingredients. You can do this a few hours ahead so that the seasoned sauce will moisten the dried noodles.
Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with the peanuts and some of the basil, cilantro, and mint. Have bowls of the herbs on the table so everybody can add what they like.
