A fresh, zingy, colourful and tongue tingling relish to accompany rice and just about any SE Asian meat, poultry or fish/shellfish dish. Really quick and easy. Keeps up to a week in the refrigerator. This is a simplified version of my mum's recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers - quarter lengthwise, discard core and slice across to resemble very thick julienne shopping list
- 1 medium carrot - peel and cut as for cucumber shopping list
- 3 fresh large red chilies - discard seeds and cut as for cucumber shopping list
- Half a small yam bean (turnip/jiacama) - peel thickly and cut as for cucumber shopping list
- 3 shallots - peel shopping list
- 2 fat cloves garlic- peel shopping list
- 3 fresh red chilies - discard seeds shopping list
- 1 cm piece fresh turmeric-scraped shopping list
- 2 level tbs toasted white sesame seeds shopping list
- salt and sugar to taste shopping list
- white vinegar to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Put shallots, garlic, red chilies and turmeric in a pestle and mortar and pound to a smooth paste. You may prefer to use a blender but this is too small an amount for most blenders to process without using too much water.
- Heat 3 tbs oil in a wok or deep pan and when hot, put in the spice mix and stir over high heat for about 3 minutes.
- Tip in the vegetables and turn off the heat. Add sugar, salt and vinegar and mix well. Taste and keep adding salt, sugar and vinegar till you get a pleasing balance of sweet, salty and sour. Add half the sesame seeds and mix.
- Transfer to a serving bowl/dish and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds. Serve.
