Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the pork and stir fry to cook until tender.
Slaw
In a mixing bowl add the cabbage, carrots, red pepper, yellow pepper, orange pepper, edamame beans, radishes and cashew nuts and toss to combine.

Blitz the cashew butter, rice vinegar, Soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, honey, garlic and lime juice together. Add the sesame seeds, taste and adjust the seasoning with a little extra Soy sauce if need be.
To Assemble
You can opt to drizzle half of the dressing over the salad and toss to combine and coat, or simply portion the slaw into serving bowls and serve the dressing on the side.
Top with cubes of stir-fried pork and a fan of avocado. Garnish with cashew nuts, sesame seeds and fresh coriander.
