hey guys it's Jenna here it's chinese
new year in the next couple of days and
i can't wait to go back to my hometown
to see all my friends and family members
that's going to be a lot of food house
visiting and lots of catching up to do
the kisses chinese new year i'm going to
share with you three of my favorite
asian foods if you have been watching my
videos you will know that i like simple
very quick recipes healthy very
flavoursome and eating them will make
you feel good so today's recipes do not
require any cooking you don't have to
tell the stove on and you don't need an
oven you can serve them for breakfast
lunch dinner or even as a snack so let's
start by making my childhood favorite
malaysian crispy seaweed prepare if you
ask any of my friends if i can't decide
on what i want to have i will always
result to have in crispy seaweed poppy
am i just love the combination of fresh
sweet turnips with seaweed so it is
something i've eaten from a very young
age and i can literally have this every
single day and i'm still not bored of it
so to make one serving of papaya what
you'll need are one large spring roll
wrap one large seaweed sheet about half
a cup of sweet turn it shredded about
quarter cup of carrots shredded two
tablespoons of a sweet corn and just
about 1 tablespoon of peanuts crushed so
on a flat surface place one sheet of
seaweed and one sheet of spring roll
wrap on top of the seaweed then arrange
a generous amount of sweet turnips
shredded carrots a little bit of sweet
corn and crushed peanuts while
traditionally they would add a little
bit of mayonnaise I like to add a little
bit of garlic chili sauce you can choose
to top it up with any sources of your
choice then press a very firmly I roll
it up just like making a sushi roll
use a sharp knife and cut the spring
roll wrap into eight equal portions
serve fresh everybody you take your bite
into the sweetness and crunchiness of
the turnips carrots and corn combined
with the taste of seaweed it is just
absolutely delicious so if you're not a
vegan you can also choose to add mid
floss bonito flakes tuna eggs or crab
stick into the rap HS serving is only
about 153 calories and I love to have
this for my breakfast it is best to be
eaten fresh so what you can do is prep
the vegetables ahead and only put them
together and roll them up when ready to
serve the next recipe is also another
favorite of mine when i visit a
vietnamese or thai restaurant Cole glass
noodle salads I love glass noodles but
it is not commonly served so if you were
to dine in a Vietnamese or thai
restaurant you might find this dish on
their menu so this is what it looks like
uncooked it is also known as moon bean
noodles or cellophane noodles I really
enjoy the silky and fine texture of the
noodles so the noodles on their own do
not have a very prominent flavor but
rather it takes on the flavors of other
ingredients added into the dish and the
best part is it doesn't require any
cooking so to make this salad what
you'll need are five servings of glass
noodles about half a medium cabbage
shredded to medium carrots peeled and
shredded 1 red bell pepper diced 1
Japanese cucumber thinly sliced half a
cup of fresh basil costly chopped half a
cup of fresh coriander costly chopped 1
large spring onion thinly sliced and
about half a cup of unsalted peanuts
crushed and of course we'll also need to
make the spicy lime vinaigrette dressing
to go along with the salad so what
you'll need are three tablespoons of
fresh lime juice three tablespoons of
rice wine vinegar 1 tablespoon of soy
sauce half a tablespoon of sesame oil
have a tablespoon of olive oil
about half a tablespoon of maple syrup 1
garlic clove minced and about half a
teaspoon of dried chili flakes so let's
go ahead and prep the noodles fill up a
large bowl with boiling hot water then
just soak the glass noodles for about 10
to 15 minutes until soft be sure to
cover the bowl now let's go ahead and
prep the salad dressing so in a small
bowl combine all the ingredients mix
well and set aside now let's go ahead
and prep the salad in a very large bowl
combine all the chopped up vegetables
and herbs stir in the dressing and toss
until well combined and allow the seller
mixture to sit for at least 10 minutes
for the vegetables to fully absorb the
flavors of the dressing let's check on
the glass noodles drain off the water
shake and they should be done to serve
place the glass noodles on a plate then
top it up with a generous amount of
salad and finally just sprinkle with a
little bit of peanuts so what I really
like about this dish is that you can
prep the seller mixture ahead and in
fact it would taste better the next day
the vegetables will fully absorb the
flavors of the dressing and herbs to eat
it just toss the salad with the glass
noodles the noodles would take on the
flavors of the salad mixture and add a
nice silky texture to the dish this is a
really great work lunch you can just
bring the seller mixture and chill it in
the fridge at work and when you want to
eat all you have to do is suck the glass
noodles in hot boiling water and surf I
also like to serve this as a starter or
snack without the glass noodles so you
have to try it out and the final and
easiest dish is he a yaku also known as
Japanese chill tofu this dish is fresh
and call and perfect for the hot summer
which is pretty much 24 7 all year round
in Malaysia it is ridiculous
the easy and quick to put together it
takes less than five minutes what you
need are one block of silken or soft
tofu drained and washed about one spring
onion thinly sliced 1 tablespoon of
grated ginger 1 to 2 tablespoons of soy
sauce and bonito flakes if you're a
vegan just omit the bonito flakes so
let's start by prepping the tofu place
it on a dish and carefully cut into 6
equal slices then top it up with grated
ginger and a generous amount of spring
onions if you're not a vegan you can
also choose to top it up with the bonito
flakes which is how I like to have it
and finally drizzle some soy sauce over
the tofu and serve chilled see I told
you it is really quick and simple here
yako is usually served as a side dish or
stutter the tofu will take on the
flavors of the spring onions bonito
flakes and also ginger it is really
light and refreshing so guys if there
are days where you just feel lazy you
don't feel like cooking well make these
three Asian dishes there are so simple
so quick to put together they are yummy
and I can assure you you will feel good
eating them so be sure to like and share
