Introduction
Rojak is a classic street salad of Singapore and Malaysia mixing tropical fruit with crunchy vegetables. The traditional dressing uses shrimp paste; this vegan version leans on fermented soybean paste and tamarind for the same rich, sweet depth.
Wellness Benefits
- Green mango, pineapple and tamarind promote fluids and appetite and clear heat, ideal for cooling off in hot, humid weather.
- Jicama and cucumber are cooling and diuretic, while peanuts add energy and protein, balancing cool and warm.
Nutrition Highlights
- Fresh fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamin C and fiber with a light calorie load.
- Peanuts and sesame contribute healthy fats, protein and calcium.
Tips
- Serve as soon as it is tossed; sitting fruit weeps and thins the sauce.
- Toast the dough fritter and tofu puffs first so they stay crisp in the dressing.
