Ingredients
- 400 g (14 oz) Cabbage, green, white or red, core removed, finely shredded
- 2 medium Carrots, coarsely grated
- 3 Spring onions, thinly sliced
- 50 g (1¾ oz) Roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
- Fresh coriander, a handful, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp Peanut butter, smooth
- 3 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tsp Honey or sugar
- 2 tbsp Warm water
- 1 Garlic clove, finely grated
- ¼ tsp Chilli flakes, optional
You’ll need: Large mixing bowl
Method
Make the dressing. Whisk the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, warm water, garlic and chilli flakes until smooth. Add a little more water if it is too thick to pour.
Combine. Put the cabbage, carrots and spring onions in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss well, using your hands to work it in.
Rest. Leave for 10 minutes so the cabbage softens slightly and takes on the flavour.
Serve. Toss in most of the coriander and peanuts, taste for salt and lime, and top with the rest.
Storage
Best the day it is made. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though the cabbage softens and releases liquid. Add the peanuts just before serving.
