Ingredients
- 2 spring onions, shredded
- zest and juice 1 lime
- 1½ tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tsp agave syrup
- 1 cucumber, cut into thin matchsticks
- 1 chinese leaf cabbage, finely sliced
- 1 red chilli, thinly sliced (optional)
Method
Fill a small bowl with cold water and add the spring onions, then set aside – this will make it curl. To make the dressing, combine the lime juice and zest, fish sauce and agave syrup.
Toss together the cucumber, Chinese leaves and dressing, then transfer to a serving dish. Drain the spring onions and pat dry, then scatter over the slaw, and top with the chilli, if you like.
