Rojak - tropical fruit and crispy salad with spicy shrimp dressing


The ultimate rojak that has everything in it.

The fruits : green mango (substitute with granny smith green apple if unavailable), pineapple, guava, starfruit, jambu (rose apple).

The vegetables : yam bean (turnip), cucumber, bean sprouts (optional & ensure that water is properly drained after steaming).

The grilled stuff : you tiao (fried dough sticks), tau pok (fried tofu puff), dried flattened cuttlefish.

The secret dressing : the must-haves are tamarind, sesame seed, shrimp paste, sweet sauce, ground fresh chilli, ground cooked dried chilli, etc ...
the others are for you to experiment and figure out. Adjust according to taste and take it easy as the sauce is rich and salty.

Put a medley of vegetable and fruit slices onto a serving plate or bowl. Mix well with the dark dressing. Sprinkle dried ingredients and toss the salad again. Ready to serve.
