Tumblr (3.0; @urtesworld)http://urtesworld.tumblr.com/<p>So I&#8217;m back home enjoying myself to the fullest, spending time with my family and meeting up with my closest friends, which I absolutely adore.</p> <p>Since the biggest reason for the updated blog design was to be able to write and post some recipes I love, I now start with my absolute favourite Thai salad. I found a similar recipe somewhere on the internet ages ago and since then I have made it my own by adding ingredients I love.</p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/622215e56397c4aee38827a0329ba266/tumblr_inline_ml248hclSV1qz4rgp.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>You will need:</strong></p> <p>±10 cherry tomatoes<br/>1/2 red pepper<br/>1/2 medium carrot<br/>1/2 big cucumber<br/>A pack of crayfish tails<br/>Handful of mint<br/>Handful of coriander<br/>1 lime<br/>Vermicelli rice noodles<br/>Fish sauce<br/>Extra virgin olive oil<br/>Brown sugar</p> <p><strong>How to:</strong><strong><br/></strong></p> <p>1. Boil water in a saucepan and remove from the heat. Add the vermicelli noodles and leave to soak for around 2-3 minutes. Rinse it under called water and leave on a side to drain.<br/>2. Cut the cherry tomatoes into half and remove the insides into a bowl for your dressing. Cut the carrot and the pepper(remove the skin) into thin slices. Peel the cucumber, cut into half and deseed, cut into medium thin slices.<br/>3. Prepare the dressing: squeeze the juice out of half a lime into the bowl with tomatoe insides. Add a little olive oil and carefully add some fish sauce(you can always add more depending on your taste!). Add some brown sugar to remove the bitterness. Mix it all together.<br/>4. Put the noodles, vegetables and crayfish into a big bowl. Add the coriander and mint and pour the dressing on top.<strong><br/></strong></p> <p><strong>Voilà!</strong></p> <p><strong><br/></strong>I realised some people like the dressing better without the tomatoe insides, so you may as well remove that. I will add grapefruit in the summer too, will make it even lighter.</p> <p>I really hope that you will love it as much as I do when you try it!</p> <p>P. S. Don&#8217;t throw away the stems from the mint - makes a great tea :)<br/><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/c7fd47c6d4e2d745b0ca558aeec04e95/tumblr_inline_ml25pcLJkl1qz4rgp.jpg"/></p>http://urtesworld.tumblr.com/post/47645186604http://urtesworld.tumblr.com/post/47645186604Thu, 11 Apr 2013 00:15:00 +0300recipefoodthaisaladthai saladteadeliciousamazingasianrice noodlesnoodlesrecipes<p>I realised that I have completely forgotten about my beloved blog and since the heating and water in my house don&#8217;t work (AGAIN!) and my motivation towards my strategy exam is not at the highest possible point, I decided to quickly update my blog.</p> <p>Now I really liked the previous layout but since I sometimes feel like I want to write things, I decided to change it a little. Let&#8217;s see what it brings, but I can promise much of my everyday life, recipes, good music and some other arty stuff.<br/><br/>I will try to update a little more once I&#8217;m done with exams and chilling back home in Lithuania.</p> <p>Au Revoir!<br/>u.</p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/fdc83ec1c36f78fa091541ee347dda68/tumblr_inline_mkhd3c79691qz4rgp.jpg"/></p>
