Servings: persons

1 pound Brussel Sprouts, Ends Removed And Shredded
1 head Napa Cabbage, Shredded
1 Carrot, Shredded
5 Tablespoons Sugar
3 Tablespoons Water
1/3 cups Fish Sauce
1/2 cups Fresh Lime Juice
1 clove Garlic, Smashed
1 Thai Chile, Chopped
Vegetable Oil, For Frying
8 Shallots, Peeled And Sliced In Rings
1/4 cups Flour
Salt
Grilled Or Roasted Shrimp (optional)

1
Combine the shredded Brussels sprouts, cabbage and carrot in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
2
Combine the sugar, water, fish sauce and lime juice in a small bowl. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the smashed garlic clove and chopped chiles. Taste for seasoning. Set aside to develop flavor.
3
Add 1 inch of oil to a pan, heat over high heat (preferably on an outdoor burner). Toss the shallot rings with flour until coated. Once the oil is hot, add one shallot to test the temperature; it should start bubbling immediately. If the oil is hot, add the remaining shallots and fry until golden. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Season generously with salt while still warm.
4
Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat in a large skillet. Add about 2/3 of the salad mixture to the pan and stir fry until just warm and starting to wilt. Add back to the remaining (raw) salad and stir to combine.
5
Toss salad with dressing, starting with a small amount, adding dressing until you like the flavor and texture. If using, add chopped shrimp to the salad. Top with fried shallots.
