Vegan Pomelo Salad Recipe

Ingredients Preparation

To make vegan pomelo salad for 4 people, you will need the following ingredients:

• Pomelo: 300g of pomelo segments
• King oyster mushrooms: 300g
• Vietnamese coriander: a small amount
• Minced chili: 1 teaspoon
• Roasted sesame seeds: 20g
• Lime juice: 1 tablespoon
• Cooking oil: 50ml
• Vegan fish sauce: 1.5 tablespoons
• Sugar/salt: a small amount

Steps to Follow

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Rinse the king oyster mushrooms, soak them in diluted saltwater for 15 minutes, then drain and let them dry. Tear the mushrooms into bite-sized strips.

Peel the pomelo, separate the segments, and remove the seeds. You can keep some of the pomelo peel for decorating the dish once it’s finished.

Step 2: Fry the Mushrooms

Heat the cooking oil in a pan, add the king oyster mushrooms, and fry until golden brown over high heat. Remove the mushrooms and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 3: Prepare the Salad Dressing

Mix the following ingredients thoroughly in a bowl:

• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons of vegan fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon of lime juice
• 3 tablespoons of water
• 1 teaspoon of minced chili

Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 4: Mix the Salad

Place the pomelo segments and fried mushrooms in a large bowl. Slowly pour the salad dressing over them, gently mixing to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Add the roasted sesame seeds and chopped Vietnamese coriander, and gently mix again.

Step 5: Presentation and Enjoyment

Use the reserved pomelo peel to serve the salad. Place the salad into the pomelo peel, sprinkle with additional roasted sesame seeds, and garnish with a few sprigs of Vietnamese coriander.

Tips for Choosing a Good Pomelo

• Choose a pomelo with a shiny, slightly yellow, and evenly round skin
• The pomelo should feel heavy for its size, and when tapped lightly, it should sound hollow, indicating it is juicy
• Opt for pomelos with long, slightly dry segments to prevent them from becoming mushy in the salad
