Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups mung bean sprouts
Kosher salt
1 cup thinly sliced snow peas
1 cup shredded peeled carrots
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
5 Thai chiles, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled ginger
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
3 makrut lime leaves, very thinly sliced, or 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1 cup grated fresh coconut flesh or 1 unsweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Cook sprouts in a large pot of boiling salted water 10 seconds. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel with a slotted spoon; let cool. Cooking in separate batches, repeat with snow peas, carrots, and cabbage (do cabbage last and keep it separate while cooling so it doesn't color the other vegetables). Pat dry if needed.
  • Pulse chiles, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and 1 tsp. salt in a food processor until very finely chopped. Transfer purée to a large bowl; add lime leaves, coconut, sprouts, peas, and carrots and toss to combine. Season with salt if needed.
  • Toss in cabbage just before serving.
  • Do Ahead
  • Vegetables can be cooked and chile purée can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill separately.

This slaw was a disaster! The vegetables were soggy, the dressing was too sweet, and the whole thing was just a mess. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my slaw turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This slaw is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking to make it really great.

I would make this slaw again, but I would make some changes to the recipe. I would use less sugar in the dressing, chop the vegetables more finely, and use less liquid.

Overall, I thought this slaw was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The dressing for this slaw was a bit too runny for my taste. I would recommend using less liquid.

I found the vegetables in this slaw to be a bit too crunchy. I would recommend chopping them more finely.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I actually really liked this slaw. The flavors were well-balanced and the dressing was light and refreshing.

This slaw is a great make-ahead dish. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I love the addition of coconut to this slaw. It gives it a tropical twist that is perfect for summer.

I was skeptical about the combination of coconut and vegetables, but this slaw proved me wrong! The flavors and textures were perfectly balanced, and the dressing was light and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This coconut vegetable slaw was a refreshing and delicious side dish that paired perfectly with our grilled fish. The combination of sweet coconut, crunchy vegetables, and tangy dressing was a hit with everyone at the table.
