If you want to simplify the prep, you can buy prepackaged cole slaw mix and substitute 5 cups of that for the 3 cups of cabbage and 2 cups of carrots. It amounts to the same thing with a bit of red cabbage thrown in, depending on the brand of cole slaw mix you buy.
This is such an excellent slaw/salad. How does it not have more reviews, or even a photo? I added Thai basil to the herb mixture because I had some on hand. I also used one jalapeño, seeded for less heat. This will become a new staple during brassica season.
I've made this dozens of time, mostly without the chicken. It looks pretty with mostly green cabbage and a little red mixed in. In particular it's a good salad to go with barbecue.
This recipe is FAST, easy, and yummy. Flavor of raw fish sauce can be a little off putting so cooked the sauce sans onions and chilled before adding onions. Mandolined the cabbage and added some purple in there too for color. Served with chow mein stir fry noodles and ate leftovers cold for days. Purple cabbage did not stain leftovers either! Might add in cashews or peanuts next time. Started a new Pinterest board inspired by this recipe “fast good.”
