Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Soak the prepared sea grapes in water with 1 Tbsp of vinegar for about 10 minutes. This step effectively removes any fishy odor from the seaweed, resulting in a fresher taste. After soaking, rinse the sea grapes thoroughly under running water, drain them well, and then cut them into bite-sized pieces (1-2 cuts per strand).
Step 2
Wash the fresh lettuce leaves under cold running water, shake off excess water, and then tear or cut them into bite-sized pieces. These will form the base of your salad.
Step 3
Peel the ripe avocado, remove the pit, and then thinly slice it into strips. Arrange these avocado strips on top of the salad for a creamy texture.
Step 4
Wash the plum, remove the pit, and then cut it into bite-sized pieces according to your preference. The plum will add a sweet and tart contrast to the salad.
Step 5
Wash the fresh apricot, remove the pit, and cut it into pieces that complement the other ingredients in the salad. Apricots bring a lovely sweetness and color.
Step 6
Peel the hard-boiled egg and cut it in half. These will serve as a protein-rich garnish for your salad.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: spicy mustard, mustard sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, plum extract, sugar, mirin, and minced garlic. Whisk well until fully incorporated to create a smooth, flavorful dressing.
Step 8
Cook the chicken breast, either by baking it in the oven or pan-searing it until done. Once cooled slightly, shred the chicken breast into small pieces with your fingers. This adds a satisfying, lean protein element to the salad.
Step 9
To assemble, start by placing the prepared lettuce leaves at the bottom of a large serving bowl. Arrange the drained sea grapes over the lettuce. Artfully place the sliced avocado, apricot pieces, plum pieces, and halved boiled egg on top. Finally, drizzle the prepared dressing generously over the entire salad. Your healthy and delicious Seaweed Fruit Salad is now ready to be enjoyed!
