Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoons sambal oelek add more for more flavor and spicy kick
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 dashes fish sauce
  • 2 large carrots julienned
  • 2 to 3 green onions julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup thai basil thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch fine salt more or less to taste, if desired

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, measure and add the sambal (chili garlic paste), sugar, lime juice, olive oil and fish sauce. Whisk to combine.
  • Once ready to serve, toss the carrots, green onion, thai basil and cilantro into the dressing, tossing to coat.
  • Taste and season with salt if desired.

Notes

NOTE: I don't recommend making this in advance as the carrots will lose their crunch the longer they sit in the dressing.
