Tang Kwa Yatsai (Thai Stuffed Cucumber)

Vegetables - Cucumber - -

INGREDIENTS

125 g / 4 oz fresh mango or pineapple flesh
2 t cornflour (cornstarch)
1/4 t crushed dried chillies
1 small garlic clove, chopped
1 t finely chopped green pepper
2 t finely chopped onion
2 t finely chopped carrot
1 t finely chopped small fresh red chilli
1 cucumber
A few toothpicks

METHOD

Mash the mango or pineapple with a fork and add the cornflour. Place in a saucepan with the crushed dried chillies, garlic, green pepper, onion, carrot and fresh chilli. Cook gently, stirring occasionally for 4-5 minutes.

Cut the ends from the cucumber. Carefully remove the seeds from the centre - you may have to cut the cucumber in half in order to achieve this. Peel the cucumber and stuff it with the fruit mixture. Put the ends back on, secure with toothpicks and steam for 10 minutes.

Cut into slices and serve warm.
