Method
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Add the sweet corn and boil for 6-7 minutes. Remove the corn from the water and sprinkle salt on all sides, allowing it to cool completely.
- Once cooled, lay the corn on its side and slice the kernels off the cob, trying your best to keep the kernels together in large pieces. Set aside.
- Cut the salted duck egg in half and scoop out the egg in one piece with a spoon. Cut one half of the egg into chunks for the salad, saving the other half for garnish.
Mixing the Salad
- In a mortar and pestle, pound the minced garlic and chilies until there are no more chunks. Add the palm sugar and continue to pound until mostly dissolved.
- To the mortar, add the chopped dried shrimp and long beans. Pound briefly to crush the long beans. Next, add the tomato wedges, fish sauce, lime juice, and a few pieces of lime rind. Pound gently to mix and slightly crush the tomato.
- Finally, add the cucumber, corn, and chunks of salted duck egg. Toss everything together to combine well.
Serving
- Plate the salad and artistically arrange the wedges of salted duck egg on top for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
Taste as you go and adjust spices per your preference. Store leftovers in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
