If you have a large strainer on hand, it's easy to blanch veggies. Just put them in the strainer; once the water's boiling, lower the strainer into the water.

Ingredients

Cilantro

¾ cup(s), packed

Rice wine vinegar

¼ cup(s)

Salted creamy peanut butter

1 tbsp(s), or without salt if preferred

Dijon mustard

2 tsp(s)

Ground coriander

½ tsp(s)

Sugar

½ tsp(s)

Cayenne pepper

tsp(s)

Peanut oil

2 tbsp(s)

Snow peas

¾ cup(s), chopped

Uncooked Chinese cabbage

1 head(s), shredded lengthwise

Red bell pepper

1 medium, seeded and julienned

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Carrots

1 medium, shredded

Instructions

  1. In a food processor or blender, combine cilantro, vinegar, peanut butter, mustard, coriander, sugar, salt and cayenne; puree. Drizzle in oil; whirl until blended. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch snow peas until bright green, about 15 seconds. Drain, rinse immediately under cold water and drain again. Dry well and add to the dressing. Add cabbage, bell pepper and carrot; toss to combine. Refrigerate, covered, until the flavours are blended, at least 2 hours.

Notes

When the cooking time is up, run the veggies, still in the strainer, under cold water (or immerse them in a bowl of ice water).
