Ingredients
- glass noodles (mung bean vermicelli) - 120 g
- peeled shrimp - 250 g
- carrot - 1 piece
- fresh cucumber - 0.5 piece
- cherry tomatoes - 120 g
- onion czerwona mała - 0.5 piece
- fresh coriander - 1 handful
- fresh mint - 1 handful
- fish sauce rybny - 3 tablespoon
- lime juice - 3 tablespoon
- sugar trzcinowy - 1.5 tablespoon
- chili pepper - 1 piece
- oil roślinny - 1 tablespoon
Main Ingredient:
shrimp
Preparation
- Pour boiling water over the glass noodles in a bowl and leave for 5–7 minutes, until they soften and turn transparent. Drain and rinse with cold water. If needed, cut them into shorter pieces with scissors to make them easier to eat.
- Peel the carrot and cut it into thin matchsticks or grate on a coarse grater. Slice the cucumber into thin half-moons. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Slice the onion into very thin slivers.
- Rinse the coriander and mint, pat dry, and roughly chop or tear with your fingers.
- In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and finely chopped chili pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque. Don’t cook them too long or they will become rubbery. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the glass noodles, carrot, cucumber, onion, and tomatoes.
- Add the shrimp and chopped herbs. Pour over the prepared dressing and gently toss so the noodles are well coated.
- Let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes for the flavors to meld, then serve.
