    Method

    1. Bring a small pan of water to the boil, add the sugar snap peas and cook for 2–3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and run under cold water to refresh. Drain well then halve lengthways and place in a large mixing bowl.

    2. Add the red cabbage to the bowl with the salad onions. Remove the stems from the coriander, chop finely and add to the bowl, then roughly chop the leaves and add those. Pick the Thai basil leaves off the stems and gently tear with your fingers into large pieces then toss in the bowl with the other ingredients. Gently stir through the papaya.

    3. Arrange the lettuce wedges on a serving platter and spoon the salad on top.

    4. Halve the passion fruit and scoop out the pulp with a teaspoon into a bowl. Add the chilli, lime juice, fish sauce and ginger and mix together well. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and sprinkle over the chopped peanuts to serve.
