Workshop

Option 1: Heritage Asian Salads
Asian salads are extremely underrated in local cuisine. Revive our culinary heritage and learn how to make healthy and delicious heritage salads such as nasi ulam, som tam, rojak and more. These salads will be adapted to use fresh local farm greens, herbs, wild leaves and edible flowers that can be grown easily at home. Participants will learn the health and taste profiles of different components but will not be bounded by a recipe – they will work collaboratively to create delectable dishes!

This sensory journey on plant and food-based natural healing draws from millennia of wisdom, distilled for even the busiest and most skeptical urban folks.
