In a mortar and pestle, pound the ginger, coriander stem and root (reserving the leaves for garnish) and spring onions to a very fine paste. This can also be done in a food processor; just be sure that the paste is quite fine. Chinese cabbage can also be served raw, like in a salad or slaw. Simply chop the Napa cabbage into very thin strips and add in scallions, a chili, julienned carrots, or other vegetables.
