Treat your ingredients with care...
- Glass noodles — Make sure to soak the noodles in warm water until they are soft and pliable. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
- Shrimp — If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking. To enhance the flavor, you can marinate the shrimp with a little soy sauce and garlic before cooking.
- Fresh herbs — Rinse the cilantro and mint leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel before using to ensure maximum freshness.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, add thinly sliced Thai bird's eye chili to the salad.
- Customize the salad by adding your favorite vegetables such as bean sprouts, snow peas, or baby corn.
- To make it a more substantial meal, serve the Yum Sen Lon with steamed jasmine rice or as a side dish to grilled meats.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the shrimp and chicken and add tofu or tempeh for protein.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili garlic sauce in the dressing.
Serving advice
Serve the Yum Sen Lon salad as a refreshing appetizer or as a light main course. It pairs well with a side of steamed jasmine rice or can be enjoyed on its own for a low-calorie meal option. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Presentation advice
Present the Yum Sen Lon salad in a vibrant and colorful manner by arranging the julienned vegetables, cherry tomatoes, and herbs on top of the glass noodles. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving to maintain its freshness and vibrant appearance.
