Thai-style Cellophane Noodle Salad
The cellophane noodle salad I once had at a Thai restaurant was so delicious that I couldn't forget it. So I tried re-creating it at home. I left out the fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves, which I don't like, and I think it came out pretty well. Sooo delicious!
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Bring water to boil in a pot and cook (rehydrate) the cellophane noodles. Drain into a colander or sieve, and cut up into 2-3 pieces (since the noodles are too long as-is for the salad).
* Step 2
Sprinkle on a little salt on the shrimp and rub in. Wash the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. (The salt-rub is to remove the fishiness.)
* Step 3
Remove the guts and cartilage from the squid. Cut off the tentacles one by one (cut the long ones in half). Slice the body into rounds.
* Step 4
Cut up the chives into easy-to-eat pieces. Cut the cucumber lengthwise, then slice thinly on the diagonal. Slice the onion thinly. Julienne the lettuce.
* Step 5
Heat sesame oil in a frying pan, add ground meat and stir fry until crumbly.
* Step 6
Add shrimp and squid, sprinkle in salt and pepper, add red chili pepper and stir fry quickly.
* Step 7
Add onion and chives and stir fry. When the vegetables have wilted and the shrimp and squid have changed color, it's done.
* Step 8
Combine the cellophane noodles, cucumber, lettuce and stir fried ingredients from Step 7 into a bowl, add the ☆ ingredients and mix well.
* Step 9
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, transfer to serving plates and it's done! It's also good if you chill in the refrigerator for a while. It tastes even better the next day when the flavors have melded together.
* Step 10
If you add cilantro or celery, or sprinkle chopped peanuts at the end, it will taste even more authentic.
