Cabbage has been historically appreciated as a salad vegetable like in Sauerkraut and kimchi. And who does not enjoy a classic Cole-slaw with their burger?
This salad is very unique especially because it boasts of a rather unusual dressing. So going straight to the recipe for the dressing; take half a cup of coconut milk, 2 tbsps fish sauce, one lime rind and juice of one lime. Mix them all and keep it aside.
Finely chop cabbage to make about 2 cups. Blanche in warm salted water for 4 minutes or so. Drain well. take chopped shallots(4 green ones or even one large red onion), 5 pods garlic and 2 red bird eye chillies. Toss in warm oil till brown and crisp. Separately roast 2 tbsps peanuts and saute with a touch of salt and red chilly powder.
Now add the dressing to the cabbage. Mix with 1/4th the shallot fry and peanuts. Set in a salad plate and top with the remaining fried shallot and peanuts.
Serve with Vietnamese rolls or some Laksa.
