Selamat Hari Raya to my fellow Muslim friends in Singapore, Malaysia and all around the world. In Singapore almost everyone is celebrating as it will be a long weekend holiday.Here is a delicious recipe to add joy to the occasion.
For the finely pounded paste:
1.Put all the ingredients into a mortar and grind with the pestle until they form a fine paste. Alternatively, process all the ingredients in a food processor until finely ground.
2. Peel the prawns and blanch briefly in a saucepan of boiling water until they just change colour. Refresh under cold water and drain well.
3. Pour boiling water over the glass noodles and soak until softened and translucent. Run under cold water for 3 minutes to remove any excess starch. Drain well.
4. In a large bowl, combine the prawns, noodles, finely pounded paste, mango, herbs, fried shallots, nam pla and lime juice and mix well. Season to taste with salt and a pinch of sugar. Add more lime juice to taste.
5. To serve, line a serving dish with salad greens, put the prawn and mango mixture on top and garnish with ground peanuts
