NOTES
Pacific Bay Advantage: Pacific Bay Chilled Salmon Sashimi is hand-cut from premium imported fish, and ready to eat, making it a convenient centerpiece for Yu Sheng.
Alternatives: Slice your own sashimi from our Atlantic Salmon fillet. For the salad, you can add pomelo, crispy wonton strips, shredded green mango, or jellyfish for more texture and dimension.
Chef's Tips: For best results, keep the salmon chilled, and take it out of the refrigerator just before assembling to maintain freshness.
Yu Sheng is best enjoyed immediately after tossing, as the dressing softens the vegetables over time.
Serve this as a festive Chinese New Year starter before heavier dishes like roast meats, pancit, or fried rice to balance the meal.
