Asian-Style Spicy Coleslaw

Tourondel traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia before opening his BLT empire of restaurants in America, and the spicy fish sauce and peanut dressing in this dish come straight out of Vietnam. Any green cabbage can substitute for the napa cabbage; just be sure to serve the slaw immediately after dressing it so that it retains maximum crunch.

Asian-Style Spicy Coleslaw

This peanut sauce is better than any Thai peanut sauce I've made or tasted - it's delicious.  I didn't like it at all with the slaw mixture, for some reason the flavor completely disappears even when served immediately.  I made the whole recipe for the 2 of us so the good news is I only tossed the dressing with a small amount of the yummy slaw mixture.  The next day I used a cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, green onion, touch of mayo dressing that was way better.  I would serve the sauce with sate or fresh rolls and make a different dressing for the slaw, maybe something with rice vinegar and top it with green onions and chopped peanuts. Mmmm.

Great recipe.  You don't really pick up on a heavy peanut butter flavor.  The dressing flavors really meld.  I did not use the mint leaves. Do not make more than 30 minutes ahead.

REALLY yummy! But definitely eat immediately -- it gets soggy quickly.
