Step 1 of 5
Prawn & Noodle Salad with Crispy Shallots
Heat 5cm of oil in a wok until hot (a piece of shallot should sizzle immediately on contact). Toss the shallot slices in flour and shake off excess. Fry for about 1 minute until golden. Drain on kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
Step 2
Mix together the lime juice, sugar, fish sauce and garlic to make the dressing.
Step 3
Pour boiling water over the rice noodles in a large bowl and leave for 2 minutes until just cooked. Rinse under cold water, drain very well and return to the bowl.
Step 4
Add the prawns, red onion, chilli, cucumber, coriander and mint to the noodles. Pour over the dressing and toss everything together.
Step 5
Sprinkle with the crispy shallots and roasted peanuts and serve immediately.
