Vietnamese food has an equal balance of sweet, sour and salty seasoning. When cooking, taste as you go as different brands of sauces may vary in strength and flavour.
Ingredients
- 1 long red chilli, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar

- 1/2 Chinese cabbage (wombok), finely shredded (a mandolin is ideal)
- 1 carrot, finely shredded
- 1 cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 cup coriander leaves, roughly chopped
- 2 cups bean sprouts, picked
