Method

  1. 1 Peel the star fruit, slice it thinly, and soak it in salt water for 10 minutes to reduce its sourness and bitterness.
  2. 2 Soak the dried shrimp in warm water for 15 minutes, then drain and tear them into small pieces.
  3. 3 Make the dressing with more sugar than usual because the star fruit is very sour.
  4. 4 Squeeze out the excess juice from the toadstools, then mix with the dried shrimp and dressing.
  5. 5 Sprinkle with roasted peanuts, fried onions, and coriander, and eat immediately because the toad will release its juice very quickly.
