Thai Prawn Lychee Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all the first 6 ingredients together in a small jar for the dressing and then set aside whilst you prepare the balance of the recipe.
• Salad:.
• Peel the prawns and then set aside in the refrigerator.
• Deseed the capsicum and cut into large thin strips.
• Slice the fresh lemongrass finely.
• Roughly tear the washed watercress.
• Roughly chop the mint (leaves only).
• Drain the lychee and roughly tear.
• Fry the shallots.
• Gently toss together all the salad ingredients except the fried shallots.
• Pour over the prepared dressing, retoss gently and top with fried shallots just before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of 3 quarts of water to a boil. (I like to salt the water like pasta water; Kanittanon does not add salt.)
• In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, nam prik pao and chopped chiles. Taste, and adjust with any of the ingredients, including salt. The sauce's flavor should be led by sourness and savoriness, but with a good balance of sweetness and heat.
• Cook the shrimp in the water until it just turns opaque, medium or medium-rare, about 1 minute. For better flavor, cook the shrimp with heads or shells on; peel when just cooled enough to handle.
• Add the shrimp to the sauce while still warm and toss; the lime will continue to "cook" the shrimp like a ceviche. Add the lemongrass, shallot, cilantro, mint leaves and makrut lime leaves, reserving a little of each herb for garnish. Toss, and place on a dish; scatter the reserved herbs on top. Serve immediately with hot rice.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high to high heat. Add shrimp; cook until starting to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in mirin, fish sauce, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Add red onion, carrots, cashews, and green onions. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add mango, lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Remove salad from heat.
• Place romaine hearts on a platter and spoon salad on top including sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles following pack instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the spring onions and lemongrass for 2 mins or until softened. Add the prawns and cook for 3 mins or until they have turned pink. Tip everything into a large bowl and allow to cool while you make the dressing.
• Put all the dressing ingredients in a mini chopper and blitz until very finely chopped. Taste and add a little more sugar (to sweeten) and fish sauce (to make saltier), if you like. Tip the noodles into the bowl with the prawns, then add the rest of the ingredients and dressing, and toss really well before serving.
