1 Prepare the ingredients:

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Cut out and discard the core of both cabbages; thinly slice the leaves. Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater. Combine in a large bowl. Peel and finely chop the shallot to get 2 tablespoons (you may have extra). Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
