Salads

Crispy Duck Salad

Crispy duck salad is warm pan-fried duck breast sliced over crisp leaves and raw vegetables, dressed with soy, honey, ginger and sesame. The duck is cooked skin-side down from a cold pan so the fat renders out slowly and the skin turns glass-crisp, while the meat stays pink. The rich duck against cold, crunchy vegetables is the point of the dish.

Chuka Seaweed Salad with wakame, sesame oil and rice vinegar โ€” Japan recipe

Chuka Seaweed Salad

Chuka is a seaweed salad served as a cold starter in Japanese sushi restaurants, made from rehydrated dried wakame in a sesame-soy dressing. The name is misleading: 'chuka' (ไธญ่ฏ) means 'Chinese-style' in Japanese, not a type of seaweed โ€” the wakame itself is often sold dried as chuka wakame (ไธญ่ฏใ‚ใ‹ใ‚) or under the dish's own name, ไธญ่ฏๆตท่—ปใ‚ตใƒฉใƒ€. The dried strands soak in cold water until silky, then get tossed with rice vinegar, chili paste, and grated ginger. It comes together in under 15 minutes and keeps well chilled for a day or two.
