Ingredients
  

Filipino Fiesta Salad

  • 250 Grams string beans (sitaw) strings removed on both sides and ends trimmed
  • 1 80- to 150-gram piece jicama (singkamas) peeled and julienned
  • 1 medium Cucumber peeled and sliced thinly
  • 3 Salted Egg (itlog na maalat) sliced into 6 to 8 pieces
  • 3 Salad Tomatoes sliced thinly
  • 1 Cup water
  • 1/4 Cup sugar
  • 1/3 Cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper cracked
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (patis)
  • 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons onion finely chopped
  • 1 Small red chili pepper (siling labuyo)

Instructions
 

  • Blanch beans in a pot of boiling salted water. Before water boils again, remove beans and immediately plunge in a bowl of iced water. Let rest for a few minutes; drain. (This will keep the beans green and crunchy.) Place in the refrigerator.
     
  • Immerse jicama in salted water for 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Assemble the salad: place beans on a platter. Top with drained jicama, cucumber, salted eggs, and tomatoes, making sure that all ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Combine water and sugar in a saucepan. Let boil until sugar melts. Remove from heat and let cool. Add vinegar, pepper, fish sauce, soy sauce, onions, and chili (if using) to the cooled syrup; mix until well combined. Season with more soy sauce, fish sauce, and pepper, if desired.
  • Drizzle vinaigrette over salad right before serving.
