Asian flavors enhance ground turkey or pork to be wrapped and picked up in leaves of cabbage. Daikon radish is shredded in, but regular red radishes can be used into shred or finely mince them.

A vinaigrette marinated salad with just a kiss of sesames. If you cannot find mirin use a bit of your favorite sweetener instead. The cucumber slices will almost ‘pickle’ with time so enjoy these immediately or after they have chilled out and absorbed more flavor. If you love onions, a few slices of sweet onions would work well in this salad.
Daikon radishes are famous additions to Asian soups. If they are not available, any seasonal root vegetable will do. Allow this to simmer for at least 45 minutes, but longer will cause a starchy thicker textured soup. The garnish is a fun addition, but entirely optional.
Plum sauce is a common Chinese sweet & sour condiment. This version uses fresh plums and a minimal amount of ingredients to create a slightly similar barbecue sauce. Adjust the seasonings to your personal taste. If you like more mild cuisine, start with just a pinch of the jalapeno and ginger, adding more to taste. If you like it extra spicy, red chili paste would blend in nicely. If your plums are oozing with sweetness you may be able to omit the honey.
These make-it-at-the-table bundles of lettuce joy are inspired by Asian plum sauce. However, we avoid the high-sugar condiment and opt for fresh plums chopped up instead. Hints of garlic & ginger liven up this simple soy-sauced up meat.
This is easily gluten-free by making sure you have wheat-free tamari sauce instead of traditional soy sauce.
