We may wander around the world, settle in a different country, embrace a different culture and grow fond of other people's food. But Filipinos as we are, we would always long for home and crave for the foods that we grew up with.

Prawns and Celery Salad
Is your tummy tired of take-aways and greasy foods? Give it a break! Here's one interesting dish without the grease. Served with steaming white rice, it is nice and light on the belly.
Prawns and Celery Salad with Ginger Dressing
500 grms prawns, raw
2 large celery stalks and leaves
15 ml (tbsp) rice wine vinegar
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
1 tsp finely grated ginger
Steam the prawns until they turn pink. Drain and remove shell.
Cut celery stalks into 2 inches long, then cut each length into very thin length-wise strips.
Fill a small bowl with iced water. Add celery strips to water and sit for 5-10 minutes or till they are crisp.
Drain celery and discard water. Dry with paper towels to remove as much water as possible.
In a large enough bowl, combine prawns, celery leaves, vinegar, sugar, salt, and ginger. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer to a medium plater and serve with steaming white rice.
Enjoy!
