What makes Asian salad mix special?

This salad mix contains several popular leafy greens from East Asia.

It includes leafy brassicas such as mizuna, amsoi and pak choi, plus cilantro and Arugola. The mixed young leaves make delicious salads.

Sowing and growing Asian salad mix

Growing this salad mix is very easy. Make 9 small holes in a square, sprinkle in a few seeds, and that's it.

Do watch out for slugs and, in summer, caterpillars: both love young brassica seedlings.

After germination, the plants grow very quickly and you can usually start harvesting after about 4 weeks. Give them enough water, because in dry, warm weather they can bolt quite quickly.

Do not let the plants get too large either: the young leaves taste best.

At the end of the season, though, it is worth experimenting. Some of the Asian leafy brassicas in the mix can grow surprisingly large and handle cold well. Great for stir-fries.

You can find the step-by-step sowing and growing instructions for Asian salad mix in the Makkelijke Moestuin app. There is also a detailed description in the Knowledge base.

What do you use Asian salad mix for?

Use the young leaves in spicy salads or on a cheese sandwich.

Cut or pick the leaves close to the ground. As long as you leave the growing point of the plants intact, new leaves will grow back.

Do not let the plants get too large: the young leaves taste best. But if you do let a few leafy brassica plants grow on, the larger leaves are also delicious in stir-fries.
