GREEN BEANS, CORN AND CARROT SALAD



Green Beans, Corn and Carrot Salad image

This is a sturdy, appealing picnic recipe made from haricots verts, corn and carrots. Haricots verts, by the way, are skinny green beans, but you can use regular ones instead. Like the sandwich, this salad gets even better the longer it sits, and is relatively indestructible. With all the contrasting colors, it's pretty, too.

DUA GIA (PICKLED BEAN SPROUT SALAD)



Dua Gia (Pickled Bean Sprout Salad) image

Delicately crunchy and bright tasting, this easy southern Vietnamese favorite is technically a pickle because the vegetables steep in brine. But it is eaten in large amounts like a salad, usually with intensely flavored fish or pork kho (dishes simmered in savory caramel sauce). The vegetables provide a refreshing contrast to the inky, deep flavors of kho but they're also terrific paired with dumplings or sandwiches. The bean sprouts and carrot are typically combined with flat Chinese chives. Since those kinds of chives can be hard to find, you can also use thin green scallion tops.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 pound bean sprouts
1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
5 small or 4 medium scallions, green parts only, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths (see Note)

Steps:

  • To make the brine, combine the sugar, salt, vinegar and 1 cup water in a large saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from the heat and completely cool.
  • At least 40 minutes and up to 2 hours before serving, add the bean sprouts, carrot and scallions to the brine. Use your fingers to toss the vegetables. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning the vegetables 2 or 3 times to expose them evenly to the brine. At first, the vegetables won't be covered by the brine, but then they will shrink. They're ready when they're almost covered with brine and taste pleasantly tangy and are a mix of crunchy and soft. If needed, let them sit for 10 minutes longer.
  • Drain the vegetables and pile them high on a plate. Serve at room temperature within 2 hours to enjoy them at their peak.
