Leaf Lettuce Salad (Sanghu Kotjori)

This salad is one of the ancient Korean ways of fixing fresh baby finger size leaf lettuce. The classic recipe for the dressing was simply a delicious mixture of green onions, garlic, hot peppers and grain syrup in soy sauce, danjang (fermented soybean paste) or koch’ujang (red hot pepper paste). This is a childhood family recipe, except for the olive oil. – Hisoo Shin Hepinstall

Lo Yu Sang (Raw Fish Salad Singaporean Style)

“Lo Yu Sang”, sometimes referred to as “Lo Hei”, or raw fish salad, is truly a Singaporean invention. According to Tan and several other Singaporean chefs, this dish was created by four Cantonese chefs living in Singapore in the fifties. Tham Yue Kai, Sin Leong, Hooi Kik Wai and Lau Yeok Pui tried to create a “gimmicky” dish to attract more business to their restaurant during the highly competitive Lunar New Year period.

This is a great way to use any leftover steak. But if you don’t have any, start from scratch. Forget your ideas of bland diet food – this low-fat salad is full of zest, spice, lime and mint.

Asian Bean Sprout Salad

  This is a quick, soy-sauce flavored salad that goes well with most Asian cooking, whether Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, or Thai. One of my favorite things about it is that it is a vegetable dish that doesn’t require a stove burner to prepare it. The fresh taste and crisp texture of the raw bean sprouts is always a welcome accompaniment to other Asian dishes.
