Ingredients
Salad
- 1 medium sized cabbage of your choice (roughly 500g)
- 2 medium shredded carrots
- A handful of sugar snap peas, sliced
- 1/2 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion cut into fine slivers
- 1 red chilli, thinly sliced (use whatever variety you prefer based on your heat tolerance)
- 35g coriander, snipped including the upper part of the stems
- 25g / couple of sprigs snipped mint leaves
Dressing
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 limes (squeeze one and a half and leave the other half for the garnish)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Garnish
- 50g roasted nuts, you can use salted peanuts for this
- Chopped coriander and mint
- Lime wedges
Method
- Preheat the Air Frier to 180℃, and cook for 14 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking.
- Whilst the fishcakes are cooking prepare the salad ingredients. Use the ingredients as a guide and substitute in or add any of your favourite salad items to your taste. Gently combine all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl.
- If you are choosing to garnish with roasted nuts, pour them into a small frying pan and dry roast them using a low to medium heat for 5 minutes. (Make sure to keep an eye of them, and stir frequently as they suddenly go from perfectly golden to burnt).
- Whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, sesame oil, garlic and fish ginger to make the dressing, give it a taste to adjust any of the flavourings. Toss the salad with the dressing, make sure to hold a little bit back for serving, mix until the dressing and salad is well combined.
- Heap the salad onto a platter or bowl, serve with the fishcakes. Garnish with your choice of roasted nuts, lime wedges and chopped mint and coriander.
You can make the salad a couple of hours before to allow the dressing flavours to marinate into the salad.
