JAPANESE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender. Boil the carrot, unpeeled, in the same pot. Boil the egg until hard boiled at the same time.
• In the meantime, slice the cucumber and the onion very thinly. Sprinkle both with a little salt, and let sit for a while (10 minutes or more) until the vegetables exude their juices. Squeeze firmly to get rid of the juices.
• When the potatoes and carrot are done, drain and peel them while still hot (holding each in a kitchen towel to peel them helps). Smash the potatoes and shred the carrot. Mix in a little salt and pepper and leave to cool.
• Peel the hard boiled egg and chop up finely.
• When the potatoes and carrot mixture has cooled to room temperature, mix in the cucumber, onion and egg. Mix in the mayonnaise. Cover with plastic wrap and cool in the refrigerator until serving time (ideally at least one hour).
• Note regarding mayonnaise: The ideal mayo to use is a Japanese one. Next best would be to make your own, using a flavor-neutral vegetable oil such as canola or safflower, not extra virgin olive oil. ("Extra Light" olive oil is fine.) Lacking access to Japanese mayonnaise or the time to make your own though, any commercial mayo will do as long as it's not too heavy on the vinegar flavor. Salad cream such as Miracle Whip should not be used however.

ASIAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, light and dark soy sauces, sesame oil, granulated sugar, chili paste and garlic. Slowly whisk in the canola oil. Cover and refrigerate to blend the flavours, while preparing the potatoes. 2. Place potatoes in large saucepan and cover with about 5 cm (2-inches) of water. Place lid on and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 20 minutes). Drain. 3. Whisk the dressing again and then add it to the potatoes in a large bowl. Toss to mix thoroughly. Let the potatoes cool. When cooled add the celery, diced pepper and bok choy. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir the salad again before serving.
