  12. Add your Lemon Grass to bowl.
  13. Add your Dried Shrimp to bowl.
  14. Gently wipe clean your Oyster Mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Do not rinse as they will absorb all of that water.
  15. Chop your Water Chestnuts and add to bowl.
  16. Rough chop mushrooms. Add to bowl.
  17. Slice your purple onions and add to bowl.
  18. Pick fresh leaves from Thai Basil stems.

  22. Mix salad gently but well. Then, refrigerate.
  23. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add your snap peas. You'll need to blanche these to soften them up a bit and kill any bacteria. Blanche for 2 minutes even.

  25. In the meantime - make your sauce.
  26. In a small pot add everything in the sauce section. Bring to a simmer until sugar has dissolved. This may seem like it's not enough to coat your vegetable mixture - I assure you it is. Allow sauce to completely cool. You don't want your vegetables going limp.
