I found a basic recipe for a Thai cabbage slaw, and I added a few tweaks of my own to give it a crunchier texture and a little more zip! It goes well with grilled meats and seafood on a hot day.
Ingredients
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 tablespoon Asian red chili paste
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil, or more as needed
- 1 small head napa cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ seedless cucumber, sliced paper-thin
- 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
- ½ cup peanuts, chopped, or more to taste
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Whisk lime juice, chili paste, and sugar together in a small bowl. Add oil in slow stream while still whisking.
Step 2
Combine napa cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, cilantro, and peanuts in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss with tongs to coat. Chill salad for at least 1 hour. Stir and adjust seasonings before serving.
Cook’s Notes:
Use canola or peanut oil instead of grapeseed if desired.
