  1. 1

    Prepare a medium sized bowl and fill it with water.

    With a mandoline, slice carrot and celery into about 3 inches long strips. Place them in to the mixing bowl (without water) with onion.

  4. 4

    To make dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk it well.

  5. 5

    Pour dressing over sliced vegetables and mix it well. Serve it on to a plate and garnish with cilantro leaves and roasted sesame. It is best to be cooled in a refrigerator for at least 30 mins before serving.
