Fresh Atlantic Salmon, Salad Malaysian Style

鱼生, literally sashimi the Malaysian style, is a popular Chinese New Year dish.

Main ingredient is raw fish. Simple. In minutes.


Try my take, Melbourne version:
  • Baby oak lettuce, baby spinach, cherry tomato, young carrot and Lebanese cucumber finely sliced.
  • Bed the serving plate with salad.
  • Fresh Atlantic salmon, finely sliced.
  • Vermicelli (mung bean or starch based), blanched >90°C just translucent, like 冬粉.
  • Peanut sauce, dash of plum sauce, drops of Balsamic, garnish with ground peanut.
  • Angel's touch: finely diced leek, coriander, lime peel, lemon grass for that extra zing.

Time should take 3~5 minutes.
