Prawn Salad

12 Prawns, shelled and deveined

DIRECTION:

1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil.  Add prawns; cook until the prawns are curly and change colour.  Drain the prawns.  Plunge them into cold water to stop the cooking process.  Set them aside.

Apple Coleslaw＋Vegan Coleslaw Dressing | 蘋果沙律＋全素沙律醬

This dressing is made of silken tofu.  The smooth tofu forms a creamy texture while giving a mild soy flavour to the salad.  I would say this dressing tastes far better than the non-vegan mayo or coleslaw dressing in the market.
