Notes

Swaps and storage

  • Use cider vinegar or white wine vinegar instead of rice vinegar.

  • Use ordinary all-purpose or light soy sauce; avoid dark soy sauce.

  • Replace the fish sauce with more soy sauce, and replace the lime juice with more rice vinegar.

  • Use another neutral-flavoured oil instead of peanut oil.

  • Keep the dressing separate from the salad for storage. The salad keeps for 3 to 4 days, depending on the freshness of the bean sprouts.
