Ingredients:
- 2 cups or 200 g. glass or cellophane noodles (also known as bean thread because they're made with bean flour)
- 1 stalk lemongrass, thinly sliced (for more on preparing lemongrass, see below)
- approx. 1 loose cup of fresh cilantro
- approx. 1 loose cup of fresh basil (thai basil is best)
- 1 fresh tomato, cut into small wedges
- juice of 1 lime (3-4 tbsp)
- serve on a bed of lettuce or chinese cabbage
Directions:
- Soak noodles in cool water for 1 hour, or until very soft. OR, if you're in a hurry, gently boil the noodles until they're soft and transparent (about 10 minutes).
- While noodles are soaking (or boiling), place all salad dressing ingredients together in a cup. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
- Rinse noodles with cold water. Drain completely and slide them into a large mixing bowl.
- Bring 3-4 cups water to boil in a soup-type pot. Add the lemongrass slices and boil until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
- Add the prawns and chicken and boil for 1-2 minutes, or just until prawns are cooked. Try not to overcook, as this will make it rubbery.
- Drain seafood and chicken, including lemongrass. Rinse with cold water. Place drained prawns, chicken and lemongrass in the mixing bowl (along with the noodles).
- Add to the mixing bowl: fresh coriander and basil, spring onions, tomato, and cucumber.
- Now pour the salad dressing overtop, tossing well to combine.
- Do a taste test. Add more fish sauce if not salty enough. If not spicy enough, add more chilli sauce or fresh chilli. If too sour for your taste, add a little more sugar.
- If you have time, allow the salad to sit in the refrigerator 1 hour or more. Then just toss again and serve.
- To serve, place salad on a bed of green or red lettuce, OR Chinese cabbage.
