Here’s what happens behind the scenes: It was a half hour before Shabbos and I still couldn’t decide if I wanted a vinaigrette (typical) for this salad or a mayo-based dressing (more unusual). Suddenly I had an epiphany — why not incorporate spicy mayo into the dressing along with other ingredients synonymous with Asian cuisine?
Feverishly, I put it all together, simultaneously jotting down the amounts. Baruch Hashem, it was a big hit, and was finished to the last drop. The dressing was so incredible that I used it for a regular lettuce salad at our Purim seudah. When
my friend tasted it, she said I must bottle it and sell it! Stay tuned…
1 and 1/2–2 tablespoons Gefen Sesame Oil
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
6 slices turkey roll or turkey pastrami, sliced into strips
1/2–1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
1 14-ounce (400-gram) bag shredded white cabbage
4 ounces (110 grams) thick sprouts
handful canned Haddar Baby Corn, cut into chunks
2 scallions, sliced
1 carrot, grated
handful roasted cashews (optional) or chopped fresh chives, for garnish
full 1/3 cup Gefen Mayonnaise (I used low fat)
2 tablespoons spicy mayonnaise (if you don’t have, make your own using mayo and hot sauce)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Glicks Teriyaki Sauce
1 full teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cube Gefen Frozen Garlic
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (do not omit!!)
1 scant teaspoon soy sauce
2 pinches kosher salt
grated ginger, to taste (optional)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar, or to taste (optional)
Heat one tablespoon sesame oil in a medium-sized frying pan.
Add celery and sauté over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Push celery to the sides of the pan and add turkey roll strips. Sauté for six minutes, stirring occasionally, adding the remaining one half to one tablespoon sesame oil and one half to one tablespoon chili sauce midway. Turn the heat up at the end to crisp the turkey. Set aside. This can be done a day in advance.
Mix all salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
Mix all dressing ingredients together in a bowl. Dress salad before serving.
Top with crispy turkey and celery slices. Alternately, mix the turkey and celery into the salad, and top with roasted cashews.
