Beautiful Recipes with Nurlea Laurielle - Thai Noodle Salad



Today's recipe: Thai Noodle Salad


This easy salad of crisp fresh vegetables and prawns, stirred into simple rice noodles, is accompanied by the sharp taste of chillies and lemon grass to make a cold dish full of hot flavours.

200g snow peas
1 yellow capsicum
200g rice noodles
8 spring onions
250g peeled cooked prawns

For the dressings:
2 stems lemon grass
2 red chillies
7.5cm piece fresh root ginger
A large handful of coriander leaves
2 limes
3 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
2 tagblespoons soy sauce

1. Put a kettle of water on to boil. Top and tail the snow peas. Put into a saucepan, cover with boiling water, bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Seed the capsicum and slice thinly.

2. Take the snow peas off the heat. Add the capsicum and noodles; leave to stand for 2 minutes, transfer to a colander, rinse and drain.

3. To make the dressing, peel away the outer layers of the lemon grass and slice the stems into chunks. Seed and slice the chillies. Peel and slice the ginger. Chop the coriander. Put them all into a food processor or blender.

4. Squeeze the limes and add their juice with the sunflower and sesame oils and the soy sauce. Blend just long enough to make a think, chunky dressing. Alternatively, chop or grind the dressing ingredients with a pestle and mortar.

5. Trim the spring onions. Cut diagonally into 1-cm pieces and put into a serving bowl. Add the prawns and the noodle mixture, pour in the dressing and toss well

6. Serve the salad accompanied by a bowl of prawn crackers. Serves 4 pax.
