Pomelo and Lemongrass Salad - Aqua Mekong
Dressing Ingredients:
1/2 tablespoon coriander, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 hot birds-eye chili, thinly sliced (halve and de-seed prior to slicing for less heat)
1/2 tablespoon fine palm sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 tablespoon mandarin juice
Salad Ingredients:
2 tablespoons lemongrass, finely sliced
1/2 cup cleaned pomelo flesh, shredded
2 red shallots, sliced medium fine
Handful picked mint leaves, roughly torn
To Finish:
1 tablespoon deep fried garlic
1 tablespoon deep fried shallots
1 teaspoon ground peanuts *optional
Make:

  1. First make the dressing by blending all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. It should taste salty, sour and then equally hot and sweet.
  2. Combine the sliced lemongrass with the pomelo, red shallots and mint. Toss with the dressing.
  3. Serve sprinkled with deep fried garlic, shallots and peanuts.
