Main Ingredients- 100g fresh lettuce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully check and prepare all the ingredients listed for this recipe. Having fresh lettuce and all the components for the delicious dressing ready means you’re set to begin cooking.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash the 100g of fresh lettuce. After patting it dry, gently tear it into bite-sized pieces and place them into a large mixing bowl. Once the lettuce is prepared, we’ll move on to the next step.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the flavorful dressing that will elevate this salad. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, 0.5 Tbsp of fish sauce, 2 Tbsp of vinegar for tanginess, 1 Tbsp of plum extract (or syrup) for a touch of sweetness, 0.3 Tbsp of sugar, and 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic for aromatic depth. Stir everything together with a spoon until the dressing is well combined. Ensure the sugar is dissolved completely for a smooth texture.
Step 4
Pour the freshly prepared delicious dressing evenly over the torn lettuce in the large bowl. It’s important to distribute the dressing well so that the lettuce can absorb all the flavors.
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds over the salad. These will add a lovely nutty aroma and texture, making the salad even more appealing.
Step 6
All the elements are ready! Gently toss the lettuce with the dressing using a spatula or by lightly shaking the bowl, ensuring the dressing coats the lettuce evenly. Be careful not to overmix, as this can bruise the delicate leaves. Once perfectly combined, transfer the beautifully dressed lettuce salad to a serving plate. Enjoy your delightful and refreshing salad!
