Servings: persons

:
2 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons juice from about 2 limes
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons Sambal chili sauce
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1 cup shredded napa cabbage
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
:
1 teaspoon curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 catfish fillets, cut in half (about 1 pound total)
1/2 cup rice flour
2 tablespoons canola oil
Lime wedges, for squeezing
1 French bread roll, about 16 inches in length

1
whisk together the canola oil, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and sambal in a large bowl. Add the shredded cabbages and cilantro and toss to combine. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
2
Combine the curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, then sprinkle on all sides of the catfish fillets. Place the rice flour in a shallow dish, then dredge the catfish fillets in the rice flour, shaking off any excess.
3
Heat the canola oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium high heat until shimmering. Place the catfish fillets into the pan, working in batches if necessary. Fry the catfish until crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the fried catfish to a platter lined with paper towels and season immediately with salt and pepper. Repeat until all fish is cooked.
4
Divide the bread into 4 equal pieces, then split each in half horizontally. Divide the slaw among 4 of the bottom halves of the bread, then place a piece of catfish on each sandwich. Top with the remaining halves of the bread and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the fish.
