Magic noodle salad
Discover the enchanting flavors of our magic noodle salad! A tantalizing fusion of fresh ingredients that will transport your taste buds to a culinary paradise.
Ingredients:
- 90g woonsen noodles (mung bean thread noodles; also called cellophane or glass noodles)
- 1/60g dried butterfly pea flowers
- 4 whole shrimp, blanched
- 2 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon ground peanuts
- 1 tablespoon chopped cooked bacon
- 1 teaspoon chopped green onion
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon sliced shallot
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1 Thai chile, chopped
- 2 tablespoons palm sugar
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (salt may be substituted)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions:
- To prepare the noodles: Let the noodles and butterfly pea flowers soak in 16 ounces of water overnight.
- After they have soaked, take out the noodles from the flower-infused water. Boil the blue flower water and cook the noodles in it until they are cooked through, which should take about 2 minutes. Then, transfer the noodles immediately to lukewarm water to halt the cooking process.
- Preparing the toppings: Combine the noodles with shrimp, tomatoes, peanuts, bacon, green onion, cilantro, and shallot in a mixing bowl.
- Making the dressing: Crush the garlic and chile using a mortar and pestle. Mix in the palm sugar and fish sauce, and keep pounding until they are fully dissolved. Then, add the lime juice and mix well.
- Finally, pour the dressing over the noodles and toppings, and mix everything together thoroughly!
