Simplified “Yu Sheng” Salad

This salad is inspired by the raw fish salad which is commonly served during Chinese New Year in Singapore. This recipe calls for ingredients like the carrot and white radish shreds that are used for the dish. As for the dressing, oil is replaced by using water and salt is totally being omitted. The simplified combination of plum sauce, lime juice, water and sugar work just fine. Feel free to add any ingredients like green mango shreds etc to this dish to make up your own special salad.

° 1½ tablespoon (3 limes) freshly squeezed kalamansi lime juice
