Hunan Vegetable Salad

  • Level: Easy
This salad is filled with many chunky vegetables and can be served hot or refrigerated. In fact, the flavor improves after overnight or day of cold storage. This is a good side dish that often accompanies main dishes in typical Asian meals. A main dish can be as simple as fried rice, fried noodle, dumpling, various types of plain or stuffed breads, or simply plain rice.

I have to agree with haakon2pl. Without a full recipe, this meal falls flat. Your average home cook will not know what proportions to add the mising ingredients without a bit of background in Asian cuisine. <br /> <br />That being said, I still was not impressed with this recipe... <br />
