Ingredients

1 bunch watercress cut in 3-inch lengths

1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar

2 tablespoons Reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seed

1 teaspoon Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper (optional)

1 cup Cherry tomatoes

1 cup Carrots Julienned (Thin carrot sticks)

1 tsp Toasted sesame oil


Directions

Place watercress in a large salad bowl. Combine remaining ingredients except tomatoes; toss with watercress. Garnish with tomatoes. Serve immediately. Makes 4-6 servings. This is the "official" recipe, and published in an old cookbook that my family still uses to this day. Unfortunately, the publisher no longer exists. I honestly love substituting fresh spinach for the watercress, as my Dad did when he came home from Korea. I let it wilt just a little bit in the fridge while I cook the main dishes. This recipe makes a great side, different yet similar to Kim Chee. Enjoy!
