Serves 4

• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup cubed water chestnuts
• 1 cup crumbled crispy chow mein noodles
• 1 cup fresh shelled edamame
• 1⁄2 cup kimchee, drained and chopped
• 1⁄2 cup chopped baby corn
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• Asian-style commercial salad dressing to taste
1. Combine all the ingredients in a salad bowl and toss with the dressing. Serve.
2. Where Does Baby Corn Come From?
3. The baby corn that often turns up in Chinese stir-fries is corn that is harvested early just after the silk is produced; however, you can find seeds for baby corn variety online. The tiny cobs retain crispiness while adding a sweet undertone to other dishes. These are readily available canned.
