Ingredients

Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.

Method

  1. Shred the cabbage and slice the carrots and red onions thinly, then put them all in a large bowl.
  2. In a small jug or bowl, whisk the lime juice, groundnut oil, brown sugar and chopped chilli until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat everything evenly.
  4. Tear in the mint and coriander leaves and toss once more.
  5. Scatter the roasted peanuts over the top just before serving.
StreetOwl tipSalt the shredded cabbage and carrot lightly and leave for a few minutes before dressing, then pat dry, to keep the salad crisp rather than watery.
