Looking for low sodium Asian recipes that taste great but don’t raise your blood pressure? These healthy Asian recipes use fresh ingredients, bold flavors and smart swaps so you get the delicious tastes you love without the salt. 

Many Asian dishes at restaurants are loaded with sodium and fat. Take-out Asian dishes are frequently fried in oil and flavored with soy, hoisin or fish sauce that can be high in salt. 

Homemade healthy Asian diet recipes should be made with healthy ingredients such as fresh vegetables, tofu, fish and whole grains. Natural foods with high fiber, healthy fats and plant proteins can help lower bad cholesterol and reduce blood pressure. Asian recipes that are good for your heart should be cooked by steaming, lightly stir-fried, or grilled using low sodium sauces flavored with healthy seasonings.

Each of these low sodium Asian recipes is easy to make, uses clever seasoning tricks, and supports a low sodium diet that’s good for your heart. This low sodium Asian recipe collection includes savory stir‑fries, fresh salads, comforting noodles and spicy shrimp dishes—all approved by Health eCooks' chefs and dietitians for a heart healthy lifestyle.
