ckreef Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 There is a salad for dinner challenge on the Guru. This is my entry. A bright fresh noodle salad with shrimp and fresh spring rolls. Served with Nuoc Cham and peanut sauces. I started by making the Nuoc Cham and peanut sauces. You start with basic recipes and customize by taste. The peanut sauce was extra tasty and Mrs skreef's favorite. (missing from the picture is some milk for the peanut sauce) The rest of the ingredients. I pan steamed the small shrimp and mushrooms in Sake, lime juice, and Basil. Now onto the spring rolls. I started by wrapping some carrots, red cabbage, bean sprouts and spring onion in a lettuce leaf. I then assembled the spring rolls. By wrapping it the way I did it assured only one layer of rice paper above the shrimp so they can easily be seen. Marinated then grilled the big shrimp. And put it all together - salad for dinner. I was very pleased with the results. For my first time making spring rolls with rice paper they came out decent. Will definitely make some more soon. 8 Quote

I was trying hard with this one. Although me and Mrs skreef are furnishing the prize for this challenge and I don't really need to win my own prize but I do want to win none the less. Quote

ckreef Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Posted February 17, 2018 @Aussie Ora no worries if you win I'll send you something different. Oh wait I would have eventually done that anyway. I figured if by some miracle me or Mrs skreef win my plan was to send it to the second place winner. 1 Quote

If it's the battle of the Titans we're going to need an entry from you and @bosco. I remember Bosco's pictures. Always wondered if I could even come close. For those who don't know tony rocks on the challenges and bosco has the skills for award winning food photography. They were always really hard to beat in a challenge. Quote

Two small sample bottles of Peach White Balsamic and a small packet of salad dressing mix. Enough to make a salad carafe of peach balsamic salad dressing and an extra sample bottle to taste etc..... No relatives on the judges panel. I don't need the prize as I have more where that came from. But I do want to win none the less. Quote
