Suwi

Suwi is a type of Otseqon food made with mostly uncooked ingredients and a sour dressing, usually based on a mixture of vinegar and citrus juice. It is loosely analogous to salad, although suwi is often not primarily leafy.

Typical components of a suwi dish may include:


 * Noodles, especially glass noodles (sweet potato starch or kelp)
 * Fresh herbs
 * Raw fish or shrimp
 * Insects, usually fried, sometimes raw
 * Tomatoes or a tomato-based sauce
 * Cured in a dressing made from vinegar, citrus juice, and fish sauce

along with other vegetables and/or seaweeds.

suwi means ‘to be sour’. It is also used to refer to vinegar.
