Yam Yai
Ingredients:
For 4 servings
1/2 cup pork, thinly sliced into pieces, boiled
1/2 cup prawn, clean, remove back vein, slit lengthwise, boil
1/2 cup pork liver, cut into small pieces, boiled
1/2 cup pork skin, cut into small pieces, boiled
1/4 cup chicken breast, boiled and sheredded
5 quail eggs, boiled
1/2 cup vermicelli, cut into 4 cm. (1 1/2 inch) long pieces, soaked in water until soft, boiled.
1/2 cup dried mushroom, soaked in water and cut into pieces
2 tbs. pickled garlic, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup carrot, cut into small matchsticks
1/2 cup cucumber, cut into small matchsticks
1/2 cup white greens, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup mint leaves
5 fresh chillies, cut into long strips
2 tsp. garlic, finely chopped
2 coriander roots, chopped
2 tbs. fish sauce
1 1/2 tbs. sugar
1/4 tbs salt
3 tbs. lime juice
 

Preparation:

1. In a mortar, pound the fresh chillies, garlic and coriander roots. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together fish sauce, sugar, salt, lime juice with the mixture from step 1. Mix thoroughly. Adjust the flavour. This creates the spicy dressing.
3. Add pork, liver, pork skin, prawn and chicken. Toss gently. Add vermicelli, mushroom, carrot, cucumber, white greens, and mint leaves. Toss gently until mixed well.
4. When serving, garnish with mint leaves, fresh chillies, pickled garlic and quail eggs.

Note : Vermicelli should be soaked in water until soft before boiling. This reduces the boiling time and the vermicelli will not be over swollen.
