Crunchy Burmese Ginger Salad image

Many Burmese dishes carry the scents and flavors of neighboring India and China. In this salad, the dried shrimp of Yunnan, the part of China that borders Myanmar, mingle with crisped shallots, tangy lime and crunchy roasted peanuts for wild contrast and crunch.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. The dressing lacked flavor and the vegetables were not very crisp. I think I'll try adding some more spices and herbs next time.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the dressing was flavorful. I think I'll try making it again with less ginger next time.
