    Recipes by Lee Geok Boi

    Never have salads been so exciting! Take a fresh look at healthy greens and indulge in the spicy, tangy flavours of Asian salads. Tropical Salads offers you sensational salad dishes from Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia including Thai Green Mango Salad, Vietnamese Pork and Beansprout Salad and Singapore-style Rojak.

    Vegetables may be raw or lightly blanched, or a salad might combine both raw and blanched vegetables. Because of the high protein content of Asian salads, when eaten with rice they make a complete meal. However, in the typical communal eating style of Southeast Asia, a fish or meat dish
