Salads,Savoury

A large big bowl of salad for lunch can be misleading to those who enjoy eating. I was never one for the greens, and my mother will tell you, I am still not, but if dressed up and made all fancy, a salad bowl does me good for lunch on most days. This Asian sesame salad is one such bowl.

The dressing although simple, is bursting with flavour, thanks to SPRIG’s Artisanal Toasted Sesame Oil. And the nourishing greens and mix of raw and grilled vegetables add layers of depth to the salad. Toasted sesame seeds and peanuts add the crunch factor. If you would like to add a boost of protein, go ahead and add a hard boiled egg or some crumbled paneer.

Note: The dressing can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days

Pumpkin Lemongrass Soup

pumpkin soup is one my favourite meals to have, and serving it up with an asian meal with hints of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves is the best way to begin the meal. i also add a piece of bruised ginger to gently infuse in, without making it too spicy. the topping of crispy lightly caramelised pumpkin seeds is a *chef's kiss*

This is inspired from a NYTimes cooking recipe – an app that I have been scouring for inspiration instead of wasting time on Instagram. I saw a tomato rice recipe that inspired me to take a twist on it. Tomato and soy sauce is a wonderful combination and not used enough in my opinion. The tomatoes are blistered gently in a pan with flavours of ginger and garlic, and the a touch of soy sauce, with scrambled eggs, rice, veggies (mushroom works best here in my opinion), spring onions and toasted black sesame seeds – a beautiful umami dish.
