Thai Style Black and White Fungus Salad

Wishing All My Muslim Friends and Readers
"SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI"
I was browsing through my sister in-law's recipe book. As I mentioned before, she has a wide collection of recipe magazines. It would take a long time to try them out.  Important is that the most of the recipes in it are reliable and workable.

 

Was attracted to this particular salad which is good for low carbo and sugarless diet.  The dressing doesn't have sugar in it.  You can add some toasted sesame seeds for extra aroma.

Verdict - fragrant dressing with sesame oil, coriander and lemongrass.  Both the fungus are crunchy and blends well with the sourish/sweet mango and refreshing zuchini and carrots.  Hmm... very appetising.
