Ingredients

• 1/2 red chile, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoon apricot jam, such as bonne maman
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 6 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 350 gram raw shelled prawns
• 25 gram roasted cashew nuts, chopped
• 1 avocado
• 125 gram white cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 small green mango, peeled, stoned, and shredded
• small bunch fresh mint, roughly chopped
• small bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• 6 scallions, shredded

Directions

1. Put all the ingredients in a jar. Seal the jar and shake well to combine.
2. In a medium skillet set over medium-high heat, add the oil and garlic, and fry until golden and crispy. Remove the garlic from the oil with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3. In the same hot oil, stir-fry the prawns with the roasted cashew nuts for 2-3 minutes, until the prawns are just pink. Add the prawns to the garlic, spoon over 2 tablespoons of the dressing, and set aside to cool.
4. Peel, stone, and dice the avocado, and toss it together with the cabbage, mango, mint, cilantro, scallions, and prawn mixture. Serve immediately with the remaining dressing handed around in a separate bowl.
