For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the pine nuts yourself. Watch them carefully as they brown quickly. Consider adding a touch of honey to the dressing for a hint of sweetness. The slaw can be prepared a few hours in advance. If doing so, wait to add the pine nuts and sunflower kernels until just before serving to maintain their crunch. Experiment with different types of peppercorns for a unique flavor profile. If you don't have wasabi paste, a small amount of wasabi powder mixed with water can be used as a substitute.
