Cooking Notes
Agreed, it doesn't need extra salt as the fish sauce/mustard have that covered. Next time I might sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for some texture and a bit more substance. Also I didn't have enough radish, I substituted slivered carrot with good effect.
I made this slaw as directed, and my husband and I thought it was great. I added a bit of salt, but I think I would omit it next time as the dressing was tasty enough without it.
I thought there was way too much oil so I used 1/3 of the oil called for and it was plenty. I love this dish otherwise.
This was absolutely delicious. No extra salt required, as others have said. One note is that it was quite a lot of extra marinade - keep in mind for repurposing for another dish.
My new favorite salad! I didn't have the daikon or mint, but added extra bok choy and basil, plus a few chopped leaves of kale. Such a rich and flavorful dressing, which went well the next day with hard-boiled eggs and a bagel.
Delicious as-is! I served it with ginger roasted sweet potatoes, but I think it would’ve been amazing with salmon instead.
Used spring onions and a mix of different basils & mints. Also tossed in some cilantro that needed to be used. The bok choy was a red thin-stemmed variety from the farmer's market. Because there are just two of us, I set aside 1/2 the veggies and 1/2 the dressing in separate containers to mix for tomorrow night's leftovers.
