Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large cucumber
1/2 large red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped coarse
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped coarse
4 scallions, cut into 1/4-inch lengths
8 links Chinese sausage
1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
1/4 cup lime juice
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or as desired

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and cut the halves crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Cut the red onion lengthwise into slivers. In a large bowl, toss the cucumber and onion slices together with the coriander, basil, mint and scallions and reserve.
  • Put sausage links in a skillet with 1/4 cup water and saute until the water has evaporated and the sausages are lightly browned. Do not let them become hard or dry. Remove sausages, cut diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices and keep warm.
  • Remove skillet from stove and add fish sauce, lime juice, garlic and red pepper and mix together.
  • Add sausages and fish sauce dressing to the bowl of greens and toss to mix well. Serve on warm plates with plain white rice in serving bowls.
