Cannot let our tummies work too hard all the time. To let the digestive systems take a break, I will usually prepare a variety of fruits & root plants as our dinners for a few days; after having pampered ourselves continuously with too much rich food. For the children, I will include some slices of tuna sandwiches.
Alternatively, I will sometimes dish out this Korean salad.
I use the thick transparent vermicelli (boil & run with iced water), capsicum (any colour - short stripe),cherry tomatoes (half), Japanese cucumbers (slice) & yellow soya beansprout (light boil to get rid of the raw taste). Since I grow basil in my garden, I will also add some leaves into my salad (not a must but I find it enhances the flavour of my salad. Mix all the ingredients well with Korean fish sauce (portion according to taste) & sesame oil (sufficient but not too oily). When ready mixed, leave it in the fridge to chill till ready to be served. This goes very well with the fruits.
The main theme of this special diet is to eat lots of fresh fruits & vegetables. Unless need to be boiled, such as sweet potatoes & yellow soya beansprout, if not, the corns can also be eaten fresh without steaming or boiling them. They are presently sweet & crispy when chewed on.
