Minnie made a very simple salad with cabbages, fruits and nuts to serve as a side dish along with her sushi. I’m not a big fan of salad but I like Minnie’s salad. It’s colourful, sweet, tangy and crunchy.

Zoe is a new member of the Caring Place Community Kitchen. This is her second time attending this kitchen and she is so courages to share with us two recipes. We certainly need more of such members. Many times, new members are too shy to show off their cooking skills and they always say they come to learn. The recipes she shared with us are Spicy Chicken Salad and Chicken Rice.
The first recipe, Spicy Chicken Salad is very simple to make and a healthy one too. You can adjust the spiciness according to your preference by using a milder hot pepper paste.

Heidi prepared this Thai Style Pickled Cucumber at home because the cucumber has to be marinated in the fridge overnight to bring out the flavour. This is a great side…
This is a Korean Salad and yet another simple recipe to make. Radish Salad is one of the side dishes which is commonly found in Korean cuisine.
Ingredients
Heidy served her Spicy Sesame Chicken with an Avocado/Papaya Salad. The tanginess of the salad complements the spicy chicken nicely.
The Avocado/Papaya Salad has a good balance of textures from the crunchiness of the Romaine lettuce to the creaminess of the Avocado and the tenderness of the papaya. The papaya also gives a good colour contrast to the greens with the speckles of poppy seeds.

During our gathering at Riverfront park, Jessica made some Malaysian fruit rojak which was gobbled up in a jiffy. I have wanted to make it at home but have been procrastinating it until a recent groceries shopping trip with Ben and he reminded me about it.
Ingredients
 The most crucial ingredient in making the Malaysian style fruit salad is the Sambal Rojak. The fruit salad dressing is made up of sugar, water, starch, soy bean, prawn extract, glucose syrup, tapioca thickener, sesame seed, garlic, chili powder, salt and caramel. The Sambal Rojak can be found in many groceries stores which carry South East Asian products. |
 To add extra kick to it, I also added some belacan chili powder. You may substitute this with sambal oelek from Indonesia. |
 The Thai chili adds extra spiciness to the salad. |
 I also added some honey to sweeten and liquefy the salad dressing. |
 The most common fruit used are pineapple, jicama and cucumber. I could not find jicama during that groceries shopping trip, so I substituted it with Asian pear and apple. Other popular ingredients include youtiou (fried dough) and tofu puff. |
