    Five Spice Potato Salad with Smoked Nuts

    October 19, 2023 by Marc Matsumoto 1 Comment

    Five spice potato salad with smoked nuts and soft boiled eggs.

    I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, but I make an exception for potato salad. Something about the smooth creaminess of boiled potatoes with the silky richness of mayo creates an irresistibly decadent canvas that can be painted with different flavors and textures. 

    It's a regular staple in our household, and whether I'm feeling cheesy, spicy, or sweet, the format offers room to express your wildest culinary desires. I felt feisty tonight, so I went with a raucous concoction of textures and tastes that awaken your senses in all the right ways. 

    Texture-wise, you have the percussive crunch of smoked nuts highlighted by crisp cucumbers, which are brought together by the creamy potatoes and rich, soft-boiled eggs. Not to be outdone, the flavors feature warm five spice, punctuated by the sweet staccato of black vinegar, underscored by the nutty tenor of sesame oil, and an assertive baseline of smoky nuts.

      When you say, "smoked nuts", are you talking about what I think you're talking about? The ones in the can with the blue label? Or are there different smoked nuts in Japan? If they're the canned ones, I'm right there with you. It's one of my guilty pleasure snacks. Using it to flavor a dish is brilliant, since it spreads out the salinity. And the guilt! And the pleasure.😅

    I started No Recipes back in 2007 as a place to share original dishes I'd created with friends. It's since evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined, but as it grew, the focus shifted from inventing dishes to improving classics. In the spirit of how No Recipes began, I'm bringing back my weekly original recipes for all of my supporters and friends!
