Tempura prawns are complimented with this crunchy Asian pear salad. A bright citrusy dressing and our five-spice cooked peanuts combine nicely with pear and cauliflower to deliver an exciting and different salad to the table. The dressing is also fantastic when the tempura prawns are used to mop up any dressing left on the plate! The peanuts can be prepared up to three days prior and kept in an airtight container at room temperature. The other components of the salad, including the sauce, can be made same day and stored ready for assembly. This allows the dish to be completed in about 5 minutes. Ideal for busy pubs and hotels, this tempura prawn and salad combination is a show stopper without creating kitchen stress.
This recipe is for 6 servings.
