This vegetarian salad recipe puts a Wonky spin on the viral crispy rice salad, inspired by the traditional dish Nam Kkao from Laos.
This one’s all about the crunch—crispy curry-coated rice, crunchy radish, and refreshing savoy cabbage all tossed together for a seriously satisfying bite. The radish brings a bit of a kick, and the Thai red curry paste adds a touch of spice, so you can dial up the heat just the way you like it.
You could use any green cabbage in your fridge, but we love making the most of our Wonky savoy in this dish. Unlike other cabbage, savoy’s got those crinkly, tender leaves that soak up all the flavours while staying crisp. It’s a bit milder and sweeter than other varieties, which makes it a perfect match for the spiciness of the Thai red curry paste.
Whether you’re jazzing up last night’s leftover rice or making it fresh, this crispy, veggie loaded salad recipe is a flavour-packed winner for lunch or great as a zesty side dish alongside dinner.
