\"\"<\/a>Before Christmas (happy new year, by the way) Rosie and I spent a week honeymooning in Vietnam, traveling from north to south and back and eating non-stop as we went.

*****<\/p>\n

Serves 2 as a main, 4 as a starter<\/span><\/p>\n

For the salad
\n<\/em>1 mango, peeled and julienned<\/a>
\n1 large carrot, peeled and finely julienned or shredded if you must (I wouldn’t)
\n1 thumb of ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks
\n1\/2 red onion, peeled and finely sliced
\nA good handful of peanuts, lightly crushed
\nA good handful of Thai basil
\nA good handful of coriander leaves<\/p>\n

For the squid
\n<\/em>4 small squid, sliced
\nHalf a stalk of lemongrass, finely chopped
\nA red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
\nJuice of half a lime
\nFinely chopped coriander stems
\nA drop of groundnut or vegetable oil<\/p>\n

For the dressing
\n<\/em>3 tbsp fish sauce
\n3 tbsp rice vinegar
\n4 tsp palm sugar
\n1 fat clove garlic, peeled and crushed to a paste
\n1 birdseye chilli, finely sliced
\nA good squeeze of lime juice<\/p>\n

– Prep the salad ingredients as outlined above. Make the dressing by thoroughly mixing its ingredients. Mix the squid with the other squid ingredients. Cover all until needed, refrigerating if necessary.<\/p>\n

– Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan until smoking. Drain any excess liquid from the squid, then add the squid to the wok. Cook for 90 seconds – 2 minutes, tossing regularly. Chuck in with the other salad ingredients and the dressing and mix thoroughly. Serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
