Ingredients (use vegan versions):
  • 3 tablespoon pure sesame oil
  • a few drops of chili oil
  • 3 tablespoon ume plum vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon passion fruit (or other) juice
  • a squirt of fresh lime
  • a sprinkling of fenugreek leaves, if available
  • around four cups of spinach
  • 1/2 of a red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup of firm tofu chunks
  • Other additions encouraged: I enjoy everything from walnuts to mandarin oranges
Directions:

Mix the first seven ingredients in a small bowl, and toss the dressing with the remaining ingredients in a salad bowl.

This makes a great accompaniment to most Asian meals, from Thai to Indian to Chinese.

I like varying the salad with whichever extra ingredients I have on hand. I encourage creativity!
