Tenderstem, Coconut and Prawn Salad
Fresh, fiery, and full of crunch, this prawn salad recipe is a tropical stir-fry full of the flavours of Southeast Asia.
Ingredients
Method
To make the dressing simply bung all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until finely ground. You can also do this by hand by chopping everything finely, or the old traditional way of using a pestle and mortar.
Heat a tbsp oil in a large frying pan, add the dressing and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it is lovely and fragrant. Add the prawns, desiccated coconut and Tenderstem, stir fry for another 2 minutes, adding 100ml of hot water if it’s looking a little dry, then add the bean sprouts at the end, cook for another minute or until the prawns are cooked through.
Serve either as an exotic side dish or as a delicious main course with steamed rice.
