Yam Woon Sen (Thai Glass Noodle Salad With Shrimp)

Yam (pronounced "yahm") salads, are characterized by a bright, balanced dressing that contains the primary flavors commonly associated with Thai cooking—spicy, sour, salty, and sweet—in the form of fresh chiles, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar. For yam woon sen, we like to add garlic and coriander roots to the dressing, which we pound into a paste with fresh chiles in a mortar and pestle, before adding the sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. The aromatics add a refreshing sharp bite, as well as some body, which will help the dressing coat the slippery glass noodles in the salad. Get the recipe
