		<description><![CDATA[Nowadays, everyone is more health-conscious than they used to be. The realization that a lot of unhealthy ingredients go into the preparation of vegetable dishes to make them taste better has prompted more and more people today to gradually reduce or substitute those ingredients with healthier choices. There is certainly no denying that the traditional creamy coleslaw chilled to perfection is definitely tastier than chewing on raw shredded cabbage. But for those who prefer their coleslaw sans the heavy mayo dressing that it is typically drenched in, the healthier alternative would be the Asian Slaw. This Asian Slaw recipe is adapted with the use of rice vinegar, soy, sesame, and other Asian ingredients. Aside from a good dressing, I like my vegetables crisp and refreshing and that is why I prefer it over the traditional coleslaw. I find that using rice vinegar blends perfectly with the vegetables to create a really amazing flavor while preserving the texture and moisture content of the cabbage. Aside from being the perfect side dish to accompany a sumptuous meal, the Asian Slaw is great for any picnic or cookout. Not to mention it being my favorite complimentary salad that usually comes with my ramen combo meal, Thai BBQ chicken meal, or even burgers. When I am in the mood for it, I do not just want the complimentary portion. That is why I like to make Asian Slaw at home so I can have a big bowl to munch on whenever I feel like it, especially with the warm weather creeping up on us. The leftover dressing can also be put into good use as a fish/meat marinade, as it also stores better than the mayonnaise type of dressing.

		<description><![CDATA[Just like its cousin the fortune cookie, the Chinese Chicken Salad did not originate from China and is certainly not a part of authentic Chinese cuisine. Even the Chinese term for salad (沙拉 pronounced sha la) is derived from the pronunciation of the English word. So what is it that makes the Chinese Chicken Salad Chinese? The ingredients, of course! Ingredients commonly found in Chinese cooking like soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger and toasted sesame seeds are used to make the dressing. Popular toppings for the Chinese Chicken Salad include crispy noodles, fried wonton skin strips, chinese mushroom, mandarin orange, grilled tofu and almonds. But of course you can mix and match these according to your preference. The end result is a light and healthy salad perfect especially to complement a heavy meal. This classic east meets west salad can be found at classy joints like Wolfgang Puck&#8217;s or Madam Wu&#8217;s but why pay through the nose for a dish so simple you can toss up as much as you want in the comfort of your own kitchen, especially since the dressing is vinaigrette-based and can keep longer in the fridge than mayonnaise-based dressings.

		<description><![CDATA[I adore Thai cuisine and am always in search of great Thai cooking blogs. She Simmers is a fabulous resource for Thai cooking with many Thai recipes, including Thai pantry. Authored by the talented Leela, She Simmers is a gem—authentic and easy-to-follow Thai recipes, gorgeous food photography, and beautiful food writing and story-telling. I am a big fan of She Simmers. Please welcome Leela to Rasa Malaysia as she shares her family&#8217;s Thai Pomelo Salad or Yam Som-O recipe with us. For a long time, I could never figure out why I got into the habit of saving up what I considered to be very special recipes in my draft folder, adamantly refusing to publish them for reasons even I failed to grasp.  Then Bee invited me to write a guest post for Rasa Malaysia, and it became clear why I, like a squirrel hoarding acorns for winter,  had saved up those precious few recipes. It is indeed for an occasion like this. Yam (rhymes with “some”) Som-O or pomelo salad is one of those things which my mother and her sisters loved to make when they visited each other. My two aunts and Mom had this stone soup-esque tradition of taking turns hosting a get-together. Along with the children in tow, the guests would bring 2-3 components of a dish and cook them in the kitchen of the host. Pomelo salad is one of those dishes which my cousins and I grew up eating quite a bit of at these gatherings organized by our moms. Naturally, even though there are a few variations of this salad out there, I’m partial to our family’s recipe&#8230;(get Leela&#8217;s Pomelo Salad after the jump) Outside the home, pomelo salad is served mostly, if not only, at sit-down type of restaurants; it is not...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When a Michelin-trained private chef writes about food, you know it&#8217;s gotta be good and that&#8217;s exactly what Zen Chef at Zen Can Cook (previously known as Chefs Gone Wild) delivers&#8211;a food blog choked full of scrumptious dishes that rival the finest and best restaurants around. Zen is always wacky, hilarious, and I admire his cooking and wicked writing style (read this guest post and you&#8217;ll know what I mean!). He always provides great entertainment to his readers through his blog so you really have to check out his now spankingly new blog. Please welcome Zen Can Cook and his grilled shrimp and green papaya and mango salad to Rasa Malaysia. I am not sure about you but my stomach is growling at the very sight of this visually pleasing and utterly tantalizing dish. And Zen, you can be my private chef anytime! Grilled Shrimp with Green Papaya and Mango Salad Guest Writer: Zen Can Cook When the lovely Bee over at Rasa Malaysia asked me to guest post on her beautiful blog I almost freaked out. Rasa Malaysia isn&#8217;t a blog. Rasa Malaysia is a mammoth of a blog! Me, I&#8217;m just a mice of a food blogger who lives in a hole in a dark corner of the internet. This is one of the first blogs I discovered when I started blogging about two years ago and one that shines bright in the blogospheric firmament. Needless to say, I feel very honored to be here in front of Rasa Malaysia&#8217;s audience and I promise to do my best not to break anything in my short stay here. To make the best impression I can even offer to vacuum and take out the garbage after I&#8217;m done. Hmm.. Excuse me.. sir!?.. err.. Fine!.. I will mop the floor, too! I do not want...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Truth be told, I don&#8217;t cook as much as you think I do. And, perhaps much to your disbelief, I don&#8217;t eat as good as it appears to be. Well, not every day. Like many of you who has a busy and hectic lifestyle, I eat too much unhealthy food, for example: instant noodles or ramen. My pantry is constantly choked full of various kinds of instant noodles: imported ramen noodle from Asia and my favorite American cup noodles. The alarming thing about eating ramen noodle is not about the noodle, but the fact that I&#8217;m addicted to the flavoring packet in every single ramen: Penang laksa, Thai tom yum, curry, miso, and so on. I always slurp the MSG-loaded and &#8220;sure-to-make-you-bald&#8221; (my late mother used to tell me) ramen noodle soup to the very last drop&#8230; When my conscience hits, I try to make my ramen noodle healthy to disguise my guilt for eating malnutrition food. That&#8217;s when I try to rid the flavoring packet and make ramen noodle salad. Ramen noodle salad is a very simple recipe&#8211;as the name suggests, it&#8217;s a quick dish that you can whip up by combining ramen noodle + salad. I make my ramen noodle salad with shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, spicy chili sauce (you can also use Tabasco sauce) and some seasonings. A simple recipe with almost no artificial flavorings&#8211;OK, I confess, just a wee bit. The next time if you feel bad about consuming too much instant noodle, try my ramen noodle salad recipe. It&#8217;s actually not half bad. (Click Page 2 for the Ramen Noodle Salad Recipe)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am back to the normal posting cycle and most importantly, the comfort of my home. Let&#8217;s just say that I am just very happy to be home, so much so that I was practically lying there on my bed and couch for the whole weekend&#8211;doing nothing and consuming only Indomie instant noodles but still feeling utterly happy. Happiness lies in the fact that I can just relax and sleep on my own bed, under my own roof, and be with my LK&#8230;it&#8217;s a bliss. Anyway, I am also glad that I didn&#8217;t have to make something just for the sake of creating new content for my blog; I have quite a few recipes saved in my draft&#8211;dishes that I&#8217;d made prior to my recent trips but haven&#8217;t had a chance to post, for example, this luscious looking tropical fruit salad&#8230; If you recall, I made some jerk chicken skewers with mandarin oranges salsa, so this fruit salad was the leftover result of that post. I tossed in baby shrimps, a mango, topped the fruit salad with toasted coconut and got a healthy and light meal. This is especially refreshing for those in Southern California now because of the heat wave, so here is the recipe to share with you. (Click Page 2 for the Fruit Salad Recipe)]]></description>
