This is one of my favorite Asian salads because it is both sweet and spicy and to top it off, it has that great crunch and the taste of raw beansprouts. The sweetness of the salad comes from the hoisin sauce (which you can find in the Asian section of your local market). The spicy comes from the Chinese hot chili oil (be careful with this, it is very hot). This is really what a salad is all about — various tastes, textures and freshness.
If you like shrimp and the exotic flavors of Asia, then Sizzling Shrimp and Sesame Salad will make this a salad to remember!
