Tender pieces of chicken fillet are marinated in miso, yuzu zest, mirin, and sake for a delicately sweet-salty flavor.

Provided by Matt Abergel

Yield Makes 5 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 12

500g barley miso
150ml mirin
130ml sake
50 g fresh or frozen yuzu skin, chopped
150g white sesame seeds
15ml dark sesame oil
5ml light soy sauce
10 small chicken fillets (tenders), or about 8 ounces
Sake
Kosher salt
Yuzu zest, to serve
Fresh yuzu juice, to serve

Steps:

  • Prepare the marinade by placing the barley miso, mirin, sake, yuzu skin, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Reserve in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Carefully remove the small tendon from the underside of each chicken fillet by running the tip of the knife blade just under the visible part of the tendon. Place the fillet on the cutting board. Pinching the end, run the knife along the tendon in a downward motion until removed. Repeat on the remaining fillets. Place in a shallow baking dish, and cover with the marinade, tossing to coat completely. Marinate for 1-2 hours.
  • Starting at the wider end, cut each chicken fillet into three pieces to make a total of six pieces. Move one of the larger end pieces to the side of the smaller pieces. Starting with the smaller pieces at the bottom of the skewer, pinch the meat so the rounded, smooth side faces up. Insert the skewer directly through the middle of the meat. Continue skewering the rest of the fillet pieces, working up in size, keeping the smooth side of the meat facing up. Repeat until you have five identical skewers, each weigh about 1½ ounces each.
  • Start with the smooth side down over high heat, grilling until light brown, 1-2 minutes. Rotate ¼ turn, cook on each side until lightly colored, about 1 minute per side. Once three sides are colored, finish cooking on the last side until light brown, 1-2 minutes. Spray with sake and lightly season with salt to finish. Garnish with yuzu zest and a squeeze of fresh yuzu juice.

Miso-Sesame Vinaigrette That's Good on Anything image

This all-purpose miso-sesame vinaigrette is great on a simple salad with lettuces and fresh vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced onions, radishes, jicama or grated carrots, or in this Chicken and Cabbage Salad. Try it drizzled on an iceberg wedge, over sliced leftover steak, chicken or tofu, or on grilled seafood, served hot or cold. It's especially good with grilled salmon and spicy greens like watercress, mizuna or arugula.

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium garlic cloves, smashed with the side of a knife
1 small shallot, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons shoyu or tamari
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon light miso paste
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 cup grapeseed, vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons toasted white or black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
  • With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
  • Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.

Tips:

  • To make a smooth and creamy sauce, use a blender or food processor to combine the ingredients.
  • If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the avocado with a fork until it is smooth.
  • Add a little bit of water or milk to thin out the sauce, if necessary.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Serve the sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Miso sesame sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used as a dipping sauce, marinade, or dressing. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. The sauce is also a good way to add flavor and umami to your favorite dishes.
