It is helpful to weight the cabbage stirto make sure you have the right amount of dressing.
Core the cabbage and slice it thinly, or dice in a Cuisinart. Do the same for the carrots.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, lime juice, sugar, and salt. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cilantro, sprouts, sour cream (if using) and serrano (if using). Stir well again, and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes more.
Optional: add a handful of raisins.
Sprinkle with the toasted nuts and serve.
