Lotus & ginger salad (halloween special)
Alcoholic beverages
Unintentionally, but conveniently Halloween-coloured, this crisp Chinese salad is perfectly autumnal with rooty and sweet notes. Based on Fuchsia Dunlop's recipe in Every Grain of Rice. I'd also added carrots as I'd seen it served this way in a family-owned Chinese restaurant in Beijing; a great idea since the carrots not only brighten the dish but sync with the firmness and mild sweetness of lotus root. And don't those lacy lotus slices look like bedsheet ghosts' cut-out eyes and mouths? <br /> <br />Each Sunday I post a classic Chinese salad recipe on www.jamiepea.com, which I tweak and standardize so it's all-natural (no MSG!), easy to make and enjoyable for the traditional and noob palate alike. Each recipe can be enjoyed as a "Western-style" salad, by consulting my leafy greens pairing suggestions; or of course the Chinese way, as-is as a cold starter or side dish. <br /> <br />Do let everyone know what your favourite salad veg pairing is, in the comments section below.
