Tiger salad (Lao hu cai) from Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking (page 66) by Fuchsia Dunlop

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I didn't have a chili, so this was pretty mild and plain. Still decent.

    Good as an add-on to a meal of brown rice and Twice-Cooked pork belly. Would repeat, for sure. My jalapeno was super mild, making me wish for a bit more heat. Maybe a serrano next time!

    p. 66 A sweet and spicy pickle-like dish that’s the perfect accompaniment to many of the dishes in this book. I had to omit the coriander due to an allergy. This reminded me somewhat of a summer salad I make called fire & ice cucumbers. This is nice on its own, atop meat or fish and even mixed into steamed rice. A keeper!
