Instructions
- Prepare Zone PastaRx Orzo according to package directions.
- Drain and rinse in cold water to stop cooking, drain again. Set aside to cool.
- In a separate bowl, large enough to hold all ingredients, whisk the olive oil with the fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, water, and red curry paste.
- Add the cabbage, onion, peppers and cucumber. Toss until evenly coated. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes, until the cabbage is very slightly wilted.
