Yum Woon Sen or bean thread noodles salad is a popular dish both inside and outside of Thailand. The bland noodles absorbs the hot spicy sour dressing and the peanuts and other ingredients give it just the right amount of saltiness and fragrant! Try this if you are a Thai food and salad lover!
Main ingredients needed!
- 1-2 bundles of Clear Noodles (depending on how much you want to eat)
- 1/2 cup dried shrimp
- some fresh shrimps
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce (you can find it in some Chinese supermarket in Israel)
- 2 1/2 tablespoon limes/ lemon
- 1/2 cup of lightly salted peanuts
- 2 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 chopped chili
- variety of vegetables (tomatoes, lettuce etc)
- * If you don't eat shrimps, you can replace the fresh shrimps with minced meat!
The noodles I used is the bean thread noodle I bought from the Chinese supermarket in shuk Carmel! Start by soaking an appropriate amount into water before boiling it till it turns translucent. When it's translucent, take it out from the water and leave it to cool.
Next up, you have to prepare any ingredients you would like to put into your Thai salad! Here I used tomatoes, lettuce, carrots and cucumbers. Chopped them up into small pieces just like how you will chop them for salad use!
Next up, pound the lightly salted peanuts, dried shrimps and chilli until they are mini sized just like what is shown in the picture below!
Heat up your frying pan, add some oil and garlic, pour in your pounded peanuts, shrimps and chilli and also add fresh shrimps and fry them all up!
In a large bowl, place all the raw chopped vegetables into the bowl followed by the cooked glass noodles.
After which, place all the stir-fried ingredients on top of the glass noodles and you are almost done! What is left is just the dressing for the salad. For the dressing, just mix the lemon/ lime juice, fish sauce and sugar together and stir well till the sugar is dissolved!
Mix it all up and enjoy! Look how good this is!!!
That night, I also made desserts. I cut out some watermelon as a base and added two scoops of ice cream with some chocolate sauce on top! Mmmmmm….
Thai food lover,
