Asian Slaw

A healthy and colorful salad which goes well with seafood.  Also a good way to use up some cabbage


2 green thai chiles, seeded and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 T sugar
2 T rice vinegar
3 T lime juice
3 T nam pla (fish sauce)
3 T grapeseed oil
1/2 head shredded savoy cabbage (you're looking for about 4 cups)
3 carrots, shredded
1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
3/4 c mint leaves, chopped
1/2 c cilantro, chopped
pepper

Combine the thai chiles, garlic, sugar, rice vinegar, lime juice, nam pla, and grapeseed oil in a bowl. Whisk well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside while you make the rest of the salad.
Toss all the vegetables together, paying particular attention to mixing in the carrots, which have a tendency to clump together, then toss with the dressing. Serve at room temperature.
