Prepare dressing first to allow time to cool.

heat until reduced by 1/3.
- Add the soy sauce, sugar, red chili flakes and citrus
juices and simmer until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and cool. Store in a non-corrosive
container.
- Cut the Napa cabbage and red cabbage into chiffonade (very
thin slices). Place into a very large salad bowl.
- Cut the snow peas and carrots into julienne (thin matchsticks),
add to the cabbage.
- Cut the wonton skins into julienne and deep fry at 350
degrees until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towel and
reserve OR use canned Chinese noodles.
- Chop the peanuts, cilantro and green onions and reserve
seperately.
- Toss all of the vegetables together to combine. (Up to
here can be done a day ahead)
- When ready to serve the slaw, add the fried wonton strips
or Chinese noodles to the vegetable mixture, drizzle with
the dressing and toss thoroughly.
- Garnish with the chopped peanuts, cilantro and green onions
and serve immediately.
