- When selecting the prawns, opt for wild-caught or sustainably farmed prawns for the best flavour and nutrition.
- When selecting the noodles, make sure to read the label to ensure that they are gluten-free if needed.
- Substitute cooked shrimp for cooked salmon. The benefit of this substitution is that salmon is a healthier option with more Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.
- Substitute Chang's Original noodles for soba noodles. The benefit of this substitution is that soba noodles are healthier, as they are made from buckwheat and are higher in fiber and protein than regular noodles.
Thai-Style Prawn Salad Replace the chilli flakes with 1 tablespoon of Thai red curry paste. Replace the cashews with roasted peanuts. Omit the noodles. Serve with steamed jasmine rice.
Coconut Rice - This fragrant and fluffy rice dish is the perfect accompaniment to the Asian Prawn Salad, providing a mild and delicious contrast to the zesty and spicy flavors of the salad. Plus, coconut rice is a great way to add a boost of healthy fats to your meal!
