Sausage Salad I

I had this at a wedding party yesterday, 27 Feb 2018. This was the only dish that contained packaged items, like Vietnamese sausage, hot dogs, crab sticks, and squid rolls. Squid rolls are essentially a crab stick but are tubular shaped, but squid flavored. The dish in the photo also has chilies in it, when I prepare this, I will use much less chili. No servings or quantities are given until I make this, I am just winging this for now.

Ingredients
  

  • Vietnamese sausage, a mix of peppered and plain would be good
  • quality hot dogs
  • imitation crab, aka crab sticks
  • imitation squid, aka squid rolls
  • fresh mushrooms, white ear, oyster, your choice
  • carrot
  • red onion
  • tomatoes
  • pinch Bird's Eye Chili, seeded and finely chopped, or to taste

For the Dressing

  • soy sauce
  • lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Cut the Vietnamese sausage (Cha Lua plain, and Cha Hue for peppered) in half lengthwise, then thinly slice each half. A mix of regular and pepper varieties would work well.
  • Slice the hot dogs thinly at an angle. (Just a note, the shorter hot dogs tend to have the casings removed.)
  • Slice the imitation crab into 1/2 inch pieces and the squid into 1/4 inch pieces.
  • Cut the onion in half from top to bottom, then thinly slice each half.
  • Finely slice then chop the carrot. Safe bet would be to cut the carrot into 2 inch pieces, julienne, then cut the stack in half.
  • For the mushrooms, if using white ear variety, blanch that for a few minutes, drain and let cool down. Your choice of fresh mushrooms, buttons sliced, Shimeji chopped, Shiitake sliced with the stem removed would also be nice.
  • For the tomatoes, cut in half and remove the seedy pulp then slice.
  • Seed and finely chop one Bird's Eye chili.
  • Place the prepared meats and veggies in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Splash with some soy sauce and a couple of tablespoons of lime juice. Toss together until all is coated well. (Keep in mind, my photo shows a very large pot, this is at a wedding so a lot of chow was made, but this was delicious! I will make this on a much smaller scale than what this photo shows.)
  • Serve as a side dish with any Thai dish.

Notes

I will price then when I gather up all the supplies for this.
