Ingredients

  • Salad Ingredients
  • Chinese lettuce (or other broad leafed veggie) to form a base for the saladbowl.
  • cup of onion, sliced
  • cup of tomato wedges
  • cup of cucumber, sliced
  • cup prik chi fa (Thai jalapenos), julienned
  • cup of broccoli florets, blanched
  • cup of bean sprouts
  • Dressing Ingredients
  • cup of lime juice
  • cup of peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons [rice] vinegar or nam makham piag (tamarind juice)
  • 2 tablespoons nam tan paep (palm sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon prik ki nu daeng haeng (dried red chilis), ground
  • 1 tablespoon khao koor (toasted rice)

Directions

1

Line a serving bowl with the lettuce leaves, then toss the other ingredientsand place on the lettuce, garnish with cilantro/coriander leaves, lime leaves, thinly sliced shallots, and julienned spring onions.

2

In a dry skillet or wok, toast the peanuts until light golden brown, allow to cool and crumble (a few sharp blows with the flat of a cleaver should suffice, and avoid turning them into peanut butter, as the use of a foodprocessor is inclined to).

3

Toast 2 tablespoons of uncooked long grain rice (either white or brown, totaste), and then when cool, grind to a coarse powder (khao koor).

4

Combine the ingredients to form the dressing, and place in a small bowl.
