In sync with our resolution to eat healthy, we tried our best to eat as much as vegetables as possible. That includes having them raw as salad, lightly stir-fried or blanched.
One of my favourite salads is thai style salad. I have a penchant for Thai cuisine having living in a hometown that is mere 20 minutes away from the Thailand border.
We have small amount of frozen squids in our freezer and I decided to make a thai style salad out of it. It is easy and simple to make and most importantly I can use my favourite herb, coriander as abundantly as I want. As most of recipes are based on the agak-agak method, please bear with me the measurement.
Ingredients:
Squid - blanched
1/3 of cucumber - skin peeled, halved & thinly sliced
2 tomatoes - quartered & thinly sliced
2-3 stalks of lemon grass - thinly sliced
4-5 bird's eye chilli - thinly sliced
Coriander - chopped
Lime juice - can be substitute with vinegar or lemon juice
Fish sauce or salt & sugar to taste
Method:
Combine every ingredient in a bowl. Add fish sauce (or salt), sugar and lime juice. Mix it all together and taste. Thai cuisine largely has 4 subtle flavours; sweet, salty, spicy & sour.
Ready to serve.
*Instead of squid, you can also use beef, prawn or the original ingredient - chicken feet's skin.
