Ingredients

3 shallots
10 marian plums
½ tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon palm sugar
½ tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon Thai chili flakes
1 tablespoon Toasted rice powder

Instructions

Peel shallots and slice into thin slices. Set aside.
Rinse marian plums. Peel the skin, slice the flesh into bite-sized pieces into a mixing bowl, and discard the pits.
Make the dressing by adding fish sauce, palm sugar and lime juice into a small bowl. Stir with a spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the shallots to the marian plums, followed by the dressing, chili flakes, and toasted rice powder, and mix with a spoon until all the ingredients are well combined. Serve immediately.

Notes

When choosing your marian plums, go for the firm ones. The firm texture tastes better and the fruit won't be mushy in the salad. Don't pick any marian plums with bruises.
If you have time, make your own toasted rice powder and ground chili flakes a little bit in advance. These ingredients do make a huge difference when they are fresh.
