Method
- Heat 60ml of the oil in a small pot over a medium heat until it reaches round 170 degrees C. Place the chilli and garlic into a small heat-proof bowl then carefully pour over the oil to infuse. Once the oil has stopped bubbling stir in the fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, pepper and lime juice. Taste for balance and set aside.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Season the MSC certified sustainable prawns with salt and drizzle with remaining oil. Cook the prawns in a single layer for 1 minute each side, or until they just change colour. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool slightly.
- On a large serving platter arrange the rice noodles, cabbage, beansprouts, carrot, cucumber, onion, half the herbs and half the prawns. Drizzle with a little of the dressing then toss to combine.
- Place the remaining prawns and herbs onto the salad. Scatter with cashews and drizzle with the remaining dressing before serving.
Loaded with fresh flavours and sweet succulent MSC certified sustainable prawns, this salad brings crunch and tang to your table!
The dressing has a lovely balance of lime, fish sauce, chilli and a touch of sweetness. It`s light, bright and perfect when you want to serve something stress-free but impressive when entertaining.
