Asian salad freestyle - today they call it "Asia Bowl"

January 31st, 2019 | main dishes

Asian salad freestyle – why “freestyle”? We’ve had a wonderful recipe for Asian salad for ages, which we vary and change over and over again – today, it’s modern to use the English word ‘bowl’ in Germany. There are some components that have to be, such as rice noodles, fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar – and many components that can, such as vegetables, mushrooms, cilantro, nuts and so on… Every time a surprise, what the fridge contains… Take heart and try out!

Asian salad freestyle - today they call it

With this salad, you can let your cooking creativity run wild: Combine other vegetables with the salad or choose instead of chicken breast fish, shrimp or octopus, for example. Welcome to the kingdom of the thousand possibilities.

Weird to offer a recipe for a freestyle dish, I know. But I give it to you to have an idea at hand. This is how it always works!

Schupfnudeln – Autumn Soulfood

“Schupfnudeln” is a typical German dish. We talk about fingershaped dumplings made of potoatoes. This recipe combines these dumplings with minced meat and apples – very simple. But often the simple dishes are the most popular ones. Especially with children. Same with our stir-fried Schupfnudeln with apples. Our son and daughter have been crazy about this dish since childhood. Apple and horseradish anyhow are a perfect pair, endive salad as a vegetable and a quick horseradish dip provide the freshness kick.
