MY LIFE-LONG PASSION FOR ASIAN SALADS
Whenever I visit Vietnam, Thailand, China, India and other countries around Asia, I am always surprised at the abundance of vegetable dishes. I find dishes that are full of herbs, or encounter vegetables that I have never eaten before. Sometimes the vegetables are briefly boiled and then dressed, quickly stir-fried, or speedily deep-fried; each cooking method is so simple, yet they yield so many variations. I am convinced that one of the reasons I’m so enamored with various Asian cuisines is because they allow me to eat so many vegetables!
In this book, I will introduce you to salads from various Asian countries. As I put these recipes to paper and reminisce about all of the Asian vegetable dishes I have eaten, I am once again reminded that Asia is truly a vegetable utopia! With that as my inspiration, I developed this collection of recipes using the strongly flavored vegetables I’ve encountered that I have come to love, as well as more familiar vegetables from my home country of Japan and other ingredients that are used in the Asian countries I cover in this book, along with the seasonings and cooking methods typically used there.
From simple vegetable-only recipes that are perfect as side dishes or for eating with an alcoholic beverage, to filling main dish salads containing meat or fish, all the recipes in this book are very easy to make. On Page 15, I give recipes for some versatile dressings that effortlessly bring the flavors of each country’s cuisine to any salad. I hope you’ll use them to enjoy the tastes of these countries as part of your everyday meals.
Regardless of your status as a world traveler, this book will help you explore and enjoy the tastes and aromas from across Asia.
