JUKUT URAB
(Mixed Vegetables with Grated Coconut)


Although mixed vegetables are used in this version of Urab, it is possible to make it with just one of the vegetables list: like spinach only or cabbage only.

Vegetables:
50 g chopped cabbage, blanched
50 g spinach, blanched
50 g long beans or French beans, cut in 1.5 cm in pieces, blanched
50 g bean sprouts, blanched
1/2 tbsp crispy fried garlic
1 tbsp crispy fried shallot
1 tbsp freshly grated coconut or dried coconut (soak in the 2 tbsp of hot water)
lime juice

Dressing:
1 Large red finger-length chilli, de-seeded  and sliced
1 tbsp crispy fried shallot
1/2 tbsp crispy fried garlic
2 bird's eye chillies, sliced
1 tsp shrimp paste
2 kaffir lime leaves
2 cm kencur root (if you can not find it, you can skip)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
pinch of salt
pinch of black pepper
pinch of sugar


Method:
Mix all the vegetables, grated coconut, crispy shallots and garlic in a salad bowl and mix well.
To make the dressing, heat the oil and fry all the ingredients for the dressing (except the coconut, crispy shallots and garlic) just for 30 seconds until the shrimp paste has dissolved. Switch off the heat and put in the small bowl. Mix the dressing thoroughly with the vegetables, season with salt, pepper and lime juice. Garnish with the crispy shallot and garlic.

Happy cooking!
