Tips & Tricks

• If Tuhau is not available, you can substitute it with pickled ginger for a similar tangy flavor.
• For an extra kick of heat, add a few slices of bird's eye chili to the salad.
• Marinating the prawns in the dressing for 15 minutes before grilling will infuse them with even more flavor.
• Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing twist.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro or mint leaves for added freshness.
