Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 Green onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely shred the cabbage (about 4 cups) and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrot, then add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Chop the roasted peanuts coarsely and set aside a small portion for garnish.
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic clove, and sesame oil until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time to thin it out slightly.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top and gently mix again.
Slice the green onions and use them as a garnish along with the reserved peanuts.
Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Serve immediately as a crunchy side dish or let it sit for 5 minutes for the flavors to meld.
