Spicy Slaw with Peanuts
Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce bag slaw mix
- 1 large carrot shredded
- 1/2 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 6 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 cup peanuts roughly chopped
Dressing for slaw
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar finely grated
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 3 teaspoons sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup canola oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently combine slaw mix, carrot, pepper, onions, cilantro and peanuts,
- In protein shaker with wire mesh ball or glass jar with tight fitting lid, combine all dressing ingredients and shake vigorously until blended.
- Pour dressing over slaw mix and toss until everything is coated.
- Serve immediately. You want the slaw to maintain its crunchy goodness. So wait to dress the vegetables until right before serving.
Notes
You can use your favorite type of sugar in the dressing. I happened to have cakes of palm sugar in the pantry from some Thai cooking I had recently done, so I chose this type. You can add or leave out any vegetables you desire. I used bagged slaw mix to speed up the process, but you could choose to shred your own cabbage. Increase or decrease the heat/spice factor by adjusting the sriracha amount and/or by adding fresh hot chili peppers instead of the mild green bell pepper.
