Why It Works

Thai dressed salad (Yam)

Preparation

Dressing too mild — yam dressings should be punchy. Dressing the salad too early — herbs wilt. Dressing cold protein. Forgetting textural elements — toasted rice powder, fried shallots, roasted cashews. Using sweet chilli sauce instead of building from scratch. Chopping herbs instead of tearing.
