    9. 1 teaspoon ginger paste

Instructions

  • In a large salad bowl, combine pasta, shredded cabbages, carrots, spring onions, and red bell pepper. Cover and set aside.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, sriracha, minced garlic, and ginger paste to make the dressing.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sriracha depending on how spicy you like it.
  • You can also add grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.
  • The salad can be stored in the fridge for a few hours before serving but is best enjoyed fresh.

 

  • If you prefer a vegan version, ensure the soy sauce is gluten-free and use a vegan peanut butter dressing.
