Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Thai Carrot Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing.
Step 1
Begin by placing coarsely grated carrots into a spacious bowl, setting the stage for a vibrant salad.
Step 2
In a saucepan, mix together sugar, water, and rice vinegar, then bring this sweet concoction to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely—this should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Once bubbling, lower the heat to medium and introduce minced garlic, Thai fish sauce, and Thai red curry paste to the mix.
Step 4
Allow this flavorful blend to simmer for two to five minutes, letting the ingredients harmonize beautifully.
Step 5
Afterward, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dressing cool for approximately thirty minutes, allowing the flavors to deepen.
Step 6
Once cooled, stir in fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a zesty kick.
Step 7
Drizzle this delightful dressing over the grated carrots, then toss in chopped peanuts for an added crunch.
Step 8
Mix everything thoroughly until the carrots are generously coated.
Step 9
For the best flavor experience, refrigerate the salad for at least thirty minutes before serving, allowing the ingredients to meld together into a deliciously refreshing dish.
Step 10
Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!.
