What you'll need

Preparation

1 Blanch the beans in a large pot of salted boiling water. Refresh in ice bath to stop cooking then drain well. Slice wing beans into ¼-inch (6 mm) slices crosswise. If using green beans, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces on a bias.
2 Toast the coconut by adding to a dry sauté pan set it over medium high heat. Stir constantly until it is dark brown and aromatic.
3 Prepare the dressing in a mortar and pestle. Grind garlic and chilies into a paste. Add peanuts and grind into a coarse meal and transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl. Add lime juice, fish sauce, Thai chili paste, coconut milk and sugar; stir to dissolve the chili paste.
4 Assemble the salad by adding the wing beans, chicken, shrimp, shallots, toasted coconut, and mint to the dressing; toss to mix and plate. Top with medium boiled eggs.
