Ingredients
- ½ green apple, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ⅓ cucumber, cored, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 50g semi-ripe pineapple, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 50g beans sprouts
The Sauce
- 1 tbsp Belacan paste (or less, according to your taste buds)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp tamarind puree
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 tbsp peanuts, toasted and crushed, to garnish
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted, to garnish
Method
Preparation
• Combine sauce ingredients into a mixing bowl, stir well until combined.
• Cut all the fruits and vegetables into similar bite-sized pieces.
• Wash and pick the beansprouts, and set aside.
Cooking
• Place all the fruit, and beansprouts in a large salad / mixing bowl and pour the sauce all over, mix to combine thoroughly.
• When ready to serve, plate up onto a serving plate and serve immediately once sauce is mixed in (otherwise the salt will draw water out of the salad and it will become watery).
