Thai Style Slaw

[heart_this] · Jul 6, 2010 · 8 Comments

Thai Style Slaw

Recently I have been working on a few Thai inspired projects that have just been begging for a Thai inspired coleslaw and after a bit of thought I came up with this one. I wanted to try doing this slaw without cabbage and so I needed a main ingredient for it that was nice and crunchy and I figured that fresh bean sprouts would be perfect. The next thing that came to mind was some vibrant red sweet pepper, thinly sliced, and of course carrots were also in. Next I padded the slaw with some fresh herbs including cilantro, mint and some green onions. For the dressing I went with a mix of fish sauce for saltiness, lime juice for tartness, sugar for sweetness, birds eye chilies for heat and some coconut milk to smooth things out.

    Sounds good. My sprouts just got 'finished' and I have a ton of carrots for a 'summer slaw' that I make (with cabbage but a lovely lime/ginger dressing) Will try. Love Thai.

    Thai food never fails to make me extremely happy. I'm very picky about my slaws but this one looks quite delicious.

    yum! I love a fresh salad like that – especially one full of flavor when you can pull it off with no oils! (I'm sure that comes as no surprise!)

    This would have been perfect with the grilled Thai turkey breast I did the other day but it also looked ideal for the shrimp dish you made. Great job.
