THAI VERMICELLI SALAD WITH PRAWN (ยำวุ้นเส้น )

The last time I promised you a "Yum" recipe" so I found this recipe from a wonderful website: http://www.ezythaicooking.com.  Basically it compilation of Thai recipes in both in English and Thai.  And there is a lot of recipes on the website.


 


* 10 medium size shrimps
* 100 grams ground pork
* 40 grams mushroom
* 20 grams chinese celery, cut into 1" long
* 1 onion, sliced
* 2 tomatoes, sliced
* 20 grams shallot, sliced
* 6 chilies, coarsely chopped
* 40 grams glass noodle
* 4 tablespoons fish sauce
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 5 tablespoons lime juice 

1. Blanch pork and shrimp in boiling water, drain.  You can add or substitute ground chicken 
    for the pork.  You can add squid or even bite-size fish but white fish only.  You can skip the animal parts
    altogether for vegetarian spin but add peanuts for texture and crunch.

2. Blanch mushroom and glass noodle until soft, set aside.

3. Mix all ingredients in a big bowl, then season with fish sauce, sugar and lime juice . 
    Transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately with fresh vegetable such as cabbage, 
    cucumber, string bean, etc.For vegetarian skip, substitute fish sauce for light soy sauce.

Serve 2

This dish is so good and filling that you may not need anything for the meal.

Enjoy!
