seaweed salad

Easy to eat (not too much chewing) and easy to make, this tasty and hearty salad/slaw is a great way of getting extra calcium into your diet (bok choy, nappa cabbage and sesame seeds all have lots of calcium!).

I threw this together in the morning on my way to school. It’s taste reminds me of General Tso’s chicken or perhaps Bulgogi. I made it very spicy, but it would definitely be possible to make it less. Also, try substituting the tamari for miso paste to make a stickier, more sauce like dressing.

This miso soup is slightly thicker than the traditional cooked version, but it tastes authentic because of the mushroom dashi. It is light and very filling at the same time.

This is a very fast, very easy recipe. And it keeps just about forever.

Has a really delicious and authentic noodle flavour, so quick and easy to make, and SOOO delicious. i love it!

Here is a kimchi recipe that I’ve used a few times modified, but I’m copying the original right out of the book in case anyone wants to try it. When I made it myself, I don’t have a food scale, and I didn’t measure the veggies. I also used only a sprinkle of hot pepper powder, because I’m not too fond of spice, and instead added two whole dried hot peppers as the veggies pickled.

We have summer all year round in this part of the world, “Rojak” ( Malay word meaning : everything being mixed together) is an especially refreshing and appertizing dish. It’s sweet and sour,yet at the same time savoury and spicy. Enjoy!

You can substitute a mix of green & red cabbage with a sprinkling of grated carrot for the green papaya.

We love this on Raw Nori Rolls or just dip veggies in. Very easy and yummy!

A friend of ours made a cooked version of this dish and we really loved it, so we made a raw version of it. This recipe is best made with thin zoodles, but if you don’t have a spirooli, you can use julienned zucchini. The mint must be fresh.

Optional: Cilantro. I think it tastes better without it or with a couple tablespoons.

Optional: Peanuts. I usually make mine without nuts.

These are so delicious! The first time I made them I just threw in whatever I had around, but they were so good that I’ve made them several times since using the exact same ingredients. Enjoy!

This is a variation on a traditional Japanese cucumber salad, which features a vinegar dressing. This version, inspired by Renée Loux, adds a Japanese citron juice called yuzu, among other things. If you don’t have yuzu, you can substitute lemon juice and a touch of wasabi. Best served chilled.

I was watching an episode of Seinfeld called “The Chinese Restaurant”, and experienced a big craving for some kind of greasy Chinese food, like my favorite udon noodles. With this in mind, I went into my kitchen to open up a young coconut to drink, and found the meat, which I had planned to blend with the water, to be very firm. That’s when the gears started turning and I came up with this, which turned out delightfully similar to the oily Chinese variety, for those moments when you’re all, “I’VE GOTTA HAVE ME SOME LO MEIN!!!” Now to the recipe.
