Culinary Adventures With Chef Ann – Your Local Asian Market, Part 2
Ok, we are back with the second installment of Culinary Adventures With Chef Ann – Your Local Asian Market. Have you ever tried Kohlrabi? Ever had Kohlrabi Slaw? Well, it’s delicious. I love a good slaw and this recipe does not disappoint. Using the avocado for the dressing really pushes this slaw over the top.
- 1 large kohlrabi, peeled, stems trimmed, grated or julienned on a mandoline
- 1/4 head purple or green cabbage, shredded
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated or julienned on a mandoline
- 1/2 red onion, minced
- 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 2 Avocado’s, remove pits and scoop meat from skin
- 1 tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Combine the kohlrabi, cabbage, carrots, onion, cilantro, and raisins in a large bowl. In the bowl of a food processor blend together the avocado, cider vinegar, coconut sugar, and sea salt. Pour the dressing over the slaw, and mix until fully coated. Chill for several hours before serving.
Mmmmm mushrooms. There are SO many different types available at the Asian Market. This is a simple dish, basically sautéed mushrooms. The Enoki Mushrooms have a delicate flavor, so the AIP sauce that goes on top of them pairs perfectly. They kind of squeak in your mouth as you chew them. This makes a great side dish!
- 1 package enoki mushrooms, trim 1″ off the “root” part
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch enoki in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and place the blanched enoki in a serving plate.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add coconut aminos and sugar. Once the sauce boils, turn the heat off. Add scallions into the pan, mix well, then quickly pour the sauce over the enoki. Serve immediately.
I love a good soup anytime of the year, especially something a little different. We found Yellow Chives and yet another type of mushroom. We combined everything with some interesting Yam Noodles. And yes, it was delicious!

- 2 cups Yuchoy or other Asian greens, rough chopped
- ½ # medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Wash and trim the mushrooms.
- Bring bone broth to a simmer.
- Add ginger, coconut aminos and turmeric.
- Simmer a few minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Add the bamboo shoots, mushrooms, yam noodles and shrimp.
- Cook 2-3 minutes until shrimp are done.
