Thai Yam Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Mix dressing together.
• Pour over other ingredients; mix well.
• Serve chilled or warm.
• Cooking time is for baking the yams.

Steps:

• For the dressing:.
• Stir together the liquids with the sugar. Lightly crush & add the chilis & shallots to the liquid. Will taste hugely overwhelming - no worries. It is balanced by the tofu.
• For the salad:.
• Heat the oil over a medium-high flame in a large skillet. Author suggests cast iron - I use French stainless. Dry the tofu. Brown the tofu in the skillet - about 5 minutes a side. Flip and brown on the other side. Remove to drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the tofu (when cool enough to handle) thinly, about 1/8" or so.
• Toss the tofu and all remaining ingredients with the dressing. Alternatively drizzle with dressing or serve the dressing on the side in little bowls to dip a bite at a time (my fav).
• Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Peel and de-vein the prawns.
• Slice the onion and tomato.
• Dice the cucumber into small pieces and chop the spring onions.
• Chop finely all the sauce ingredients together adding the lemon juice, vinegar, fish sauce and sugar, mix well and leave to one side to infuse for approx.
• 30 minutes.
• Char-grill the Prawns or boil until the prawns turn pink, and then place into the salad bowl.
• Mix the prawns, vegetables and roasted rice together and then add all the sauce in and mix well.
• Serve with salad, garnish with coriander leaves.
