Ingredients

1/4 cup shrimp, dried large
2 ounces mungbean noodles
4 medium prawns raw, shelled and deviened
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
3/4 teaspoon sugar
2 medium mushrooms thinly sliced
1 each celery stalks thinly sliced at an angle
1 each scallions, spring or green onions sliced into 1-1/2 inch lengths
1 tablespoon cilantro leaves coarsely chopped
1 x red lettuce washed and drained

Directions

Pound dried shrimp in a mortar to flatten them into soft, crumbly pieces. (They should still be in relatively whole pieces.) Set aside.

Soak the mung bean thread noodle in water for 1 hour, until soft.

Using a strainer to hold the noodles, dip them into boiling for 1 second.

Remove and immediately dip into ice water to stop the cooking.

Drain well and set aside.

Using a strainer to hold the prawns, boil for 6 seconds until they turn pink.

Drain well.

Combine prawns and lime juice in a medium bowl; let stand 1 minute.

Add the dried shrimp, noodles, fish sauce, sugar, mush- rooms rooms, celery, green onions and coriander leaves.

Arrange the salad on a bed of lettuce and serve immediately.
