Ingredients

Serves 4 people
  • Pak choy – 2 bunches
  • Red apple – 1
  • Lebanese cucumber – 1
  • Snow pea sprouts – 20g
  • Coriander leaves – 1/2 cup
  • Spring onion – 2 sprigs
  • Crushed peanuts – 1 tablespoon
  • Long Red Chilli, split to use salad and dressing – 1

Dressing

  • Fish sauce – 2 tablespoons
  • Lime, juiced – 1
  • Palm sugar – 1 tablespoon
  • Warm water – 1 tablespoon
  • Coriander stems, finely chopped – 1 tablespoon
Method
  1. Give pak choy a good rinse under water to remove any dirt sitting in between the leaves.
  2. Cut pak choy in half where the leaves and stalk meet. Thinly slice pak choy stem. Then roll up pak choy leaves tightly and slice into fine ribbon strips.
  3. Cut cucumber into thin matchsticks.
  4. Repeat with red apple. Cut into thin matchsticks. Then place apple matchsticks into a bowl of lightly salted water to stop it from turning brown.
  5. Wash snow pea shoots and roughly chop them so they are a similar length to apple and cucumber matchsticks.
  6. Roughly chop coriander leaves for salad. Chop spring onion into thin rounds. Thinly slice ¾ of chilli into small rounds.
  7. To make the dressing, wash coriander stems well and then finely chop. Finely dice the remainder of chilli. In a small mixing bowl, add palm sugar and warm water. Mix together until palm sugar dissolves. Add fish sauce and lime juice to palm sugar mixture. Stir to combine. Finally, stir in chopped coriander stems and chilli.
  8. To assemble, in a large mixing bowl, add chopped pak choy, apple, cucumber, snow pea sprouts, coriander leaves, and spring onion. Add ¾ of salad dressing and toss salad together.
  9. Top with crushed peanuts, pak choy leaves ribbons and sliced chilli.
  10. Drizzle with remainder of coriander lime dressing to serve.

Recipe tips

  • Substitute the fish sauce with soy sauce in the coriander lime dressing to make a vegan salad dressing.
  • Omit the crushed peanuts for a nut free option. You can add pepitas instead or crunchy ramen noodles for extra crunch, but ok to leave out.
  • Replace snow pea sprouts with bean sprouts if not available.
  • Can substitute for brown sugar if you don’t have palm sugar at hand.
  • You can prep salad ingredients ahead of time but only dress salad when ready to serve.
