Chinese Spinach and Peanut Salad
Is a Blanched spinach and fried peanuts are served in a gingery vinegar dressing. The tender spinach and crispy peanuts give you a satisfying mouthfeel. The tart vinaigrette is slightly sweet and tastes so refreshing. It’s simple, highly nutritious, and easy to cook.
I really like this Chinese Spinach Salad. It has a wonderful dressing that makes me feel like I’m eating dinner at a Chinese restaurant.
Chinese spinach and peanut salad is a combination of “old vinegar peanuts” (老醋花生, lao cu hua sheng) and Chinese style spinach salad. The two dishes are both stars in local Chinese restaurants and sometimes people serve them together to create a better mouthfeel.
To cook vinegar peanuts, the peanuts are quickly deep fried until crispy and then drizzled with a pungent vinegar dressing. The peanuts are buttery and crisp, while the vinegar adds great flavor and makes the dish more appetizing. The spinach salad shares the same idea, and the blanched spinach is served with the same vinegar dressing. Both dishes are served as simple appetizers, or so-called cold dishes (凉菜, liang cai), in China.
The vinegar sauce is the key. It usually uses old vinegar (老醋, lao cu), a Chinese aged black vinegar that is close to balsamic vinegar. The idea of the dressing is close to that of an Italian style balsamic vinaigrette too – the vinegar is mixed with herbs, oil and spices. But instead of using olive oil and black pepper, the Chinese one often uses the combination of ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, sesame oil, roasted sesame seeds, sugar, and salt. It has a sweet nuance and a savory hint, but the refreshing sourness dominates the flavor.
Now I will share a special Chinese Spinach and Peanut Salad recipe for all my friends 😁😁
