While many vegetables typical of Asian dishes are still difficult to find in Poland, they're not actually necessary to prepare many salads inspired by Eastern cuisine. Simply using the wonderful Polish vegetables that fill our market stalls in late summer and early autumn is enough.
And what's the easiest way to add a touch of Asian flavor to your salads? It's best to start by making one of our salad dressings: Chinese with soy sauce, Japanese with rice vinegar or Thai with fish sauce.
Each one is unique in its own way, with perfectly balanced sour, salty, and sweet flavors, and a guaranteed surprise. These sauces pair well with any favorite salad, but we especially recommend them with crisp vegetables like carrots, fresh cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, or kohlrabi. Wouldn't it be delicious to replace the typical vinaigrette with this Asian wonder?
And if you need some inspiration for salad recipes from A to Z, be sure to try ours. Lovers of slightly sweet salads will definitely enjoy Thai kohlrabi salad with coconut-lime sauce and peanuts.
When you need something more filling, we recommend salad with wakame and breaded eggIf you haven't experimented with our wakame seaweed before, it's high time to give it a try! Did you know that it expands up to 10 times its size when soaked? And besides, it's incredibly healthy, as the Japanese, who love seaweed, know well. You too can serve a seaweed salad in the Japanese style, and this recipe this is one of your favorites.
