Cooking with Bruce : Vietnamese Salmon (kinda) salad

Well parts of it are vietnamese, parts of it are err what was sitting in the kitchen.

Marinade
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small sharlot, chopped
2 stems lemongrass, chopped
1 small chopped chilli
1t tumeric powder
1/2t salt
1T fish sauce
2t sesame oil

Mix all (I guess you could mortar and pestle them, but I don't have one), and coat the salmon. Leave for an hour or so.

Salad
Cook some shitake mushrooms in some peanut oil. Soak some noodles in hot water. Mix mushrooms, mung beans, 1/2c coriander leaves, 1/2c vietnamese mint leaves, 2T fish sauce, 1T rice vinegar, 1t sugar, then mix in noodles.

Grill (or fry) salmon. Place over salad. Add garnish with more coriander leaves, 2t crushed peanuts, some fried shallots.

Me.

When should I expect to be able to buy "Cooking with Bruce" from my local bookshop?
