Ingredients

  • 100g small salad potatoes
  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 baby gem lettuce
  • 50g boiled French beans
  • 1 large tomato, cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 boiled egg, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 radishes, thinly sliced

Peanut sauce

  • 200g raw peanuts
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 Thai shallots
  • 2 red birds eye chilli
  • 1 tbsp tamarind juice
  • 25g of palm sugar
  • 1 tsp shrimp paste
  • 6 kaffir lime leaves
  • 5 tbsp sweet soya sauce (kecap manis)
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 300ml of water
  • Salt to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fried shallots
  • 1 Spring onion, sliced

Method

• Add the garlic, chillies, shallots, palm sugar and shrimp paste to a pestle and mortar and bash the ingredients to form a smooth paste. Add the peanuts to the mortar and break down into a paste. It will appear quite dry, so add a little bit of water to break the peanuts down into a creamy consistency with some crunchy bits of peanut left.
