Chinese salad with tongue
Description
A simple dish to prepare. If you boil the tongue in advance, you can make this Chinese-style tongue salad in just a few minutes. Prepare it right before serving, while the cucumbers haven't released their juice yet. Adjust the amount and spiciness of the dressing to taste—you can add a bit more soy sauce, sesame oil, or include some fried cashews for extra flavor. This dish will undoubtedly suit not only everyday meals but also any festive table. Serve chilled.

Step 2
For this salad, you'll need a special spicy seasoning for Chinese dishes. I didn't have this seasoning on hand, so I made my own dressing. I combined 6% vinegar with salt and sugar, then added ground coriander, ginger, and red chili pepper. I used all the ingredients by eye. Then, to the dressing, add soy sauce, oil, and garlic pressed through a garlic press.
