Ingredients

  • 30 g/1 oz refined agar-agar strands
  • 1 bundle flowering garlic chives
  • 3 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 250 g/8 oz fresh bean sprouts
  • DRESSING
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oriental sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Directions

1

Soak agar-agar strands in cold water for 30 minutes to one hour while preparing the rest of the salad.

2

Wash the flowering chives and snap off any tough lower ends. Finely chop some of the stalks to yield about 3 tablespoons.

3

Cut the rest of the chives into bite-sized lengths and drop into boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain and immerse in iced water to set the colour. Drain as soon as they are cold.

4

Beat the eggs, season with salt and pepper and stir in chopped chives. Heat a heavy frying pan and cook just enough egg mixture to coat the pan with a thin layer.

5

When set but not browned turn egg sheet onto a plate and rub pan lightly with oil before making another. Continue until all the egg is used up.

6

When cool, cut into thin strips (to make this easier, stack egg sheets and roll them into a cylindrical shape first).

7

Wash bean sprouts, pinching off any straggly tails. Drain the agar-agar well and cut into bite-sized strips.

8

Combine all the ingredients, cover and chill. In a bowl whisk together the dressing, first crushing the garlic to a smooth paste with the sugar.

9

Pour over the salad, toss and serve.
