Pad Thai salad with shredded cabbage and kale from To Asia, With Love: Everyday Asian Recipes and Stories from the Heart (page 197) by Hetty Lui McKinnon

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute purple cabbage for green cabbage; soy sauce for tamari; fish sauce for the book's "Vegan 'fish sauce'"; chard, broccoli, or cauliflower for kale; and wombok or Brussels sprouts for cabbage. See recipe for variations.

    I make this often and just make sure to include a bunch of salty peanuts and fresh herbs. Topped with baked tofu and random sauces from my fridge.

    Really good! I was skeptical that there was enough dressing for all the noodles and vegetables but it was perfect. I used regular fish sauce, one extra scallion, and used a little extra cabbage and herbs. This is a pretty noodle-heavy salad and I think you could play with proportions, doing less noodle, more greens, if desired. Since my rice noodle packages come in 8 oz. packages (not 12 oz.), I may try that if I’m feeling like more veg, less carb. Note that EYB lists shallots but there are no shallots in this recipe, just scallions.

    I liked this very much! I subbed cauliflower for kale. The vegan fish sauce is amazing.

    I liked this a lot. Leftovers survived well for a couple of days and the salad did not mind being heated up. There was lots of flavor from the dressing and a good range of textures with radishes, cabbage and peanuts for crunch.

    Really enjoyed this salad! Would probably sweeten up the dressing with more brown sugar next time, other than that all the flavors and textures were wonderful.
