Carrot & Raddish Snack

This salad snack is so easy I did not want to post it at first, but on second thought, I decided I should. Why? It is a memorable day whereby James cooked! He made spaghetti for us, that's quite memorable huh? Well, I should have posted on the spaghetti shouldn't I? I still prefer to post my own things here to be frank... lol

Anyway, jot down this easy snack, make it whenever you feel like it, it makes a good appetizer, which I think is one of the reasons we had so much of James's spaghetti.

The ingredients used here are simple, I do not want to limit your imagination with the quantity of the ingredients, do experiment with it, try adding more of your favourite ingredients, it makes a difference! Ingredients: Carrot, White Raddish, both finely chopped, poach the white raddish for about 5 minutes before serving if you are not used to eating raw white raddish. Sauce: Sesame Oil, Light Soy Sauce, Balsamic Vinegar, Hot Paprika Powder, Korean Rice Seasoning, Salt and Pepper to taste.

The process is just simple, prepare the carrot and raddish as above. Heat a saucepan until it is really hot, turn of the heat. Add sesame oil straight away, followed by light soy sauce and a generous amount of balsamic vinegar, mix well and pour on to the carrot and raddish. Sprinkle with hot paprika powder, rice seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Done! Toss and mix well before serving hot.

*Note: substitute rice seasoning with toasted white sesame if desired.
