Vermicelli Noodle salad
Juice from 2 fresh limes
2 tbsp of soy sauce
2 tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)
1 tbsp sesame oil
6 tbsp olive oil
2 sticks of finely chopped lemongrass
1 tbsp palm sugar or brown sugar
3 shallots (1 shallot should be finely minced and the other 2 should be finely sliced)
4oz rice vermicelli noodles (3/4 of a packet)
2 fresh cloves minced garlic
1 handful of French beans
3 green chilies - finely sliced (deseeding, optional)
1/2 of an unripe mango - cut in half and finely sliced length wise
1/2 of a finely sliced red bell pepper
1 medium-sized, finely cut carrot
4 finely sliced scallions (including the green part)
2 handfuls of cilantro leaves (break apart by hand)
1 handful of mint (break apart by hand)
2 handfuls of fresh Thai basil (break apart by hand)
1 tspn of toasted sesame seeds
1 handful of lightly toasted and chopped peanuts
Salt to taste
Shrimp marination
1lb of peeled and de-veined shrimps (keep the tails)
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp spirarcha chili sauce

1
Mix the lemongrass, olive and sesame oil, garlic, shallot, lime juice, lemon grass, fish sauce and soy sauce together
2
Blanche the beans: set aside a medium sized pot of boiling water, add the French beans for 2 minutes, pull them out and dip them in to iced water (this will bring out a deep green color whilst maintaining crispness). Drain well
3
Using the boiling water, switch off the heat and add your noodles and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Drain well and allow to cool. Roughly cut the noodle strands
4
Combine all salad ingredients (the dressing, beans, noodles, herbs, nuts and seeds and fruit and vegetables)
5
Toss thoroughly
6
Heat a pan or wok
7
Add olive oil and cook the shrimp in small batches on high heat, allow shrimp to blacken on one side and then pull off the heat to avoid over cooking (after approx minutes)
8
Pearls of wisdom: Only cook shrimp when you are ready to eat. Cardinal rule: Don't over cook the shrimp
