DRESSING
SALAD
For dressing: Place the cilantro, garlic and chile in a mortar and grind to a paste, or use a blender. Transfer this mixture to a saucepan, and add the vinegar, sugar and salt. Heat to a boil, remove from the heat and cool. Set aside.
Cut the soaked noodles into 3-inch lengths. Mix the noodles, prawns, onions and celery together in a bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently to coat. Add the tomato and shrimps and gently toss again.
Serve on lettuce leaves with cilantro leaves garnishing the top.
