Asian style salad

Step by step: Asian style salad

• Step1

  Wash and peel 2 kohlrabi, 1- 2 carrots (depending on their size), 2 bell peppers, 3 cucumbers and 3-4 scallions.

• Step2

  Thinly slice the scallions.

• Step3

  To cut the vegetables, square them off, cut them lengthwise, making parallel cuts of the same thickness. Stack the cut slices and cut them into even strips, for a julienne. (1/8 x 1/8 x 1-2 inch, 3 mm x 3 mm x 3-5 cm)

• Step4

  To make the dressing: Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic, and mince one hot pepper. Add one teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon of sugar, two tablespoons of 5 % rice vinegar (or another vinegar) and five tablespoons of soy sauce.

• Step5

  Whisk in the mixture of 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and with 4 tablespoons of peanut oil, or substitute with any vegetable oil to your preference. Toss the salad gently, to coat evenly.

• Step6

  Toast and roughly chop 50 grams (1 2/3 oz) of peanuts, remove their skins easily and roughly chop them.

• Step7

  Arrange the salad on a plate, garnish with the toasted peanuts and sliced scallions.
