Gung Sarong
Serves 2 Cooks in 40 minutes Difficulty Easy
This is a really fun recipe to try for a delicious Thai snack. We call this dish Gung Sarong, gung being the Thai word for shrimp. The Sarong is made from noodles that are wrapped around the shrimp.
Although simple to make, when mastered properly this can be a fancy side dish for a larger Thai meal. It’s usually the more upmarket Thai restaurants that offer Gung Sarong on their menus. It’s a great one to impress your friends.
All the ingredients are simple and you should have no problems sourcing what you need from a decent supermarket.
Ingredients
- 10 shrimps
- 1 handful of yellow noodles
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 coriander root
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp pepper
Method
- Smash the garlic and coriander root in a pestle and mortar.
- In a bowl mix the smashed garlic and coriander root with the soy sauce, sugar, pepper and shrimp and let the mixture marinate for 30 minutes.
- Wrap the noodles one at a time around the shrimp.
- Heat some oil in a wok and deep fry the shrimp and noodles, turning once until the noodles start to crisp. Remove from the oil and lay on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
