Asian Style Potato Salad Recipes

CHINESE STYLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add potato, then boil until the potato is cooked through, but still crisp.
• Drain potato and rinse it with cold water, to remove the starch and maintain a firm texture. Drain and transfer potato to a large bowl.
• Add garlic to potato, sprinkle salt on top, and set aside.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a small skillet (or a wok). When the oil is warm, add peppercorn and cook them until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat. Use a spatula (or a ladle) to scoop out the peppercorn, then discard them. (optional) Add chili pepper and stir for a few times, until the chili pepper turns dark brown.
• Carefully pour the hot oil over the potato, and use two pairs of chopsticks to mix everything together immediately to coat potato evenly with oil and salt.
• Serve at room temperature as a side dish or as a salad.

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.

JAPANESE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with about 1 inch of cold water in a medium pot and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain, then return the potatoes in the pot to the stove over medium heat and shake occasionally until all the excess water is evaporated, about 10 second.
• Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the vinegar, season with pepper and roughly mash with a potato masher or large fork (some small lumps should remain). Spread the potatoes up the sides of the bowl so they cool faster and set aside for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt.
• Toss together the cucumbers and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then rinse and firmly squeeze to remove any excess liquid.
• Add the corn and carrots to the boiling water and simmer until the carrots are almost tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a small colander or strainer, then rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Transfer to a small bowl lined with a folded paper towel to absorb any excess water.
• When the potatoes are ready, add the corn, carrots, cucumber and ham and gently stir to combine. Add the mayonnaise, season with salt and gently stir until thoroughly combined, adding a little more mayonnaise, if you like. Check the seasonings, adding more vinegar, salt and/or pepper, as needed. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until cold. Check the seasonings again before serving.
