Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Pat the herring fillets dry with paper towels and slice them thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
Yaklaşık 8 dk.
Aşçının notu: Chilling the fish slightly before slicing can make it easier to get clean, thin cuts.
- 2
Place the sliced fish in a non-reactive glass or ceramic bowl. Pour the lime juice intended for the salad over the fish and toss gently to coat every piece.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
- 3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish becomes firm and opaque.
Yaklaşık 25 dk.
Aşçının notu: This is a chemical cooking process called denaturation; do not marinate for too long or the fish can become tough.
- 4
While the fish cures, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the warm water and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Then, stir in the fish sauce, the dressing's lime juice, minced garlic, and optional chili.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Using warm water helps the sugar dissolve quickly and completely.
- 5
Once the herring is fully opaque, drain it thoroughly in a colander, discarding all the excess lime juice.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Gently press the fish to remove as much liquid as possible so the salad isn't watery.
- 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained herring, sliced red onion, shredded coconut, and chopped mint.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
- 7
Pour about half of the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is well combined.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 8
Transfer the salad to a serving platter. Garnish generously with the crushed roasted peanuts and fried shallots.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 9
Serve immediately with the remaining dressing on the side for dipping, alongside rice paper and lettuce leaves for wrapping.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: To use rice paper, dip it briefly in warm water until pliable, then fill and roll.
