I'm a big fan of Asian food; Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, and Thai - it's all good! But with temperatures topping 95F this week, the last thing I want to do is cook. Here's a super-simple recipe for a hot day. It's also quite versatile--if you don't like bean sprouts or cabbage, substitute spinach or another vegetable of choice. Experiment and enjoy!
