I call them fusion salad, because they use ingredients, seasonings, and cooking methods from different cuisines.
This is a simple recipe with surprises.
Ingredient (for 1-2 people):
1 head of Romaine lettuce
1 head of shallot
3 tbsp Mizkan Sesame Flavored Dressing
2 tbsp Roasted sunflower seeds
2 tbsp Olive oil
Directions:
Now you see that the list of ingredients is surprisingly simple, some of you may want to skip this.
1. Cross cut the lettuce into 1 inch wide ribbons.
2. Finely dice shallot
3. Heat up a fry pan/wok with medium high heat
4. Add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil, and drop the diced shallot
5. Sauté the shallot to slightly brown (20-40 seconds)
6. Add lettuce and flip a few times (10-15 seconds)
7. Add 3 tbsp salad dressing and flip a few times until the vegetable is well mixed with the dressing (20-40 seconds)
8. Move the vegetable into a salad bowl
9. Spread 2 tbsp of roasted sunflower seeds on top
If you are still with me, you get to the next surprise. The salad tastes pretty good.
Notes:
We are not trying to cook the vegetable, but rather to use the heat to infuse the flavor, so do not let the lettuce to stay in the pan for longer than 40 seconds. The salad dressing does not have high salt content, and generous amount will give you stronger flavor. If you like roasted sunflower seeds, you are warned that too much of it can be over-powering the flavor.
