Sashimi is not and should not the sole property of Japanese gastronomy.
After all, carpaccio is nothing but a varietyof sahimi!
I remember savouring this Cinese=style sashimi for the first time in Shizuoka City in a great French restaurant!
So next time you get your hands on a nice piece of fresh white-fleshed fish, why don’t you try experiment?
Below is the method. Do experiment with quantities!

Love your blog! So much to read! This salad is called “yee sang” or “yu sheng” (means “raw fish” but the word sounds like “increase in abundance”), and it’s a festive dish served during the Lunar New Year in Malaysia and Singapore (to my knowledge, it’s not really that popular or well-known outside of these two countries). 🙂
