    Healthy and super easy Chinese style coriander salad with a common Chinese cold dish sauce.

    Chinese Coriander Salad

    I have get some feedback about vegetarian and vegan recipes, thus I decide to bring more non-meat recipes on this little corner of Internet. Generally, Chinese people eat more vegetables than meat. However only a small group of us follow the stick rule of vegan diet or vegetarian diet. On the contrast, we emphasis on the whole diet to which balance is considered as the most important factor.

    Chinese Coriander Salad

    This coriander salad is my favorite salad when serving with porridge. The dressing can be customized. For example, using Thai red pepper to replace Chinese red oil creates a fresh yet spicy taste. And you can also mix any nuts like peanuts, roasted black sesame seeds or pine nuts.

      This reminds of a salad I ate in Kunming, but it was made with mint and black beans

      My go-to cold dish.
      A really flexible recipe, I just put in any veggies I have on hand. So convenient, and so so delish.

      I was saying to my boyfriend that if the Lord came to visit I would make Him this dish ?
