This salad is filled with many chunky vegetables and can be served hot or refrigerated. In fact, the flavor improves after overnight or day of cold storage. This is a good side dish that often accompanies main dishes in typical Asian meals. A main dish can be as simple as fried rice, fried noodle, dumpling, various types of plain or stuffed breads, or simply plain rice.

I have to agree with haakon2pl. Without a full recipe, this meal falls flat. Your average home cook will not know what proportions to add the mising ingredients without a bit of background in Asian cuisine.
That being said, I still was not impressed with this recipe…
You should not give one star if you haven’t even tried the recipe!! That basically throws the ratings off. If the next 3 people who try it say it’s the best thing they ever ate and give 5 starst, it still will only get 3 stars average!
Not cool…
I didn’t try it either, but I figure my ignorant 5 stars will help balance your ignorant 1 star!
this recipe is not complete. In the directions it calls for shaoxing wine and sugar. There is no such thing in the ingredients. Please correct so I may know how to make this recipe.
