4 Mango and Prawn Salad
From chef Goh Wooi Cheat, Dragon Palace, Kempinski Hotel (Beijing)
3 prawns
40g green papaya slices
40g green mango slices
20g onion slices
20g cucumber slices
10g assorted nuts (pistachios or pumpkin seeds)
For the dressing:
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp plum sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp salt
½ tsp sesame oil
Bring the water to a boil and add the prawns, reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer the prawns for 3-6 minutes, depending on their size. Cool down the prawns in cold water, then peel them.
Place lime juice, plum sauce, sesame oil, sugar, fish sauce and chilies (if you like) into a large bowl; whisk until sugar dissolves.
Place cucumber, onions, papaya and mango in a bowl, add the prawns and dressings, toss around 30 seconds until the papaya and onions become softer and completely absorb the dressing. Serves 1.
