Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp vegetables for the salad. Vegetables that are in season will be the most flavorful.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. Overcrowding will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make them soggy.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make the vegetables mushy.
  • Add the dressing to the salad while the vegetables are still warm. This will help the dressing to adhere to the vegetables.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Oriental tossed salad is best when served fresh.

Conclusion:

Oriental tossed salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its crunchy texture and flavorful dressing, oriental tossed salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
