- Preparation: 20 min

Ingredients
- 90 g Salmon, raw
- 30 g Carrots, raw
- 30 g Daikon radish, raw
- 40 g Pomelo, raw
- 20 g Jicama, raw
- 8 g Lime juice

- 0.2 g Anise seed

Method
- Slice the salmon thinly; use only fresh, sushi-grade fish that has been frozen first (-20 °C/-4 °F for at least 7 days) to kill parasites, since it will not be cooked, and anyone pregnant should skip raw fish altogether.
- Fry the wonton wrappers in the oil until crisp and golden, then break into shards for the crispy garnish.
- Finely shred the carrot, daikon, pomelo and jicama and arrange on a plate.
- Scatter over the pickled ginger, crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, a pinch of five-spice (anise seed) and the white pepper.
- Arrange the raw salmon over the top, drizzle with the plum sauce, lime juice, remaining oil and the sugar, and scatter over the crispy shards.
- Just before eating, everyone tosses the ingredients together high with chopsticks while wishing for prosperity, mixing everything well.
