Ingredients

2 medium cucumbers - quarter lengthwise, discard core and slice across to resemble very thick julienne

1 medium carrot - peel and cut as for cucumber

3 fresh large red chilies - discard seeds and cut as for cucumber

Half a small yam bean (turnip/jiacama) - peel thickly and cut as for cucumber

3 shallots - peel

2 fat cloves garlic- peel

3 fresh red chilies - discard seeds

1 cm piece fresh turmeric-scraped

2 level tbs toasted white sesame seeds

salt and sugar to taste

White vinegar to taste

Directions

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.
