MISO CARROT SAUCE WITH GINGER (JAPANESE SALAD DRESSING)



Miso Carrot Sauce With Ginger (Japanese Salad Dressing) image

Really nice dressing! One measure of a good home cook is the ability to make your own salad dressing. Or so says Mark Bittman in the food section of the New York Times. This is the orange dressing you sometimes see on your too-cold salad in Japanese restaurants. I made this tonight, and thought it was much better than any other I ever tried at a Japanese restaurant! I made this with half the corn oil, so if you'd like to try the original recipe you can increase amount to 1/4 cup. I did not decrease the sesame oil (but did use regular).

SOBA SALAD WITH MISO DRESSING



Soba Salad With Miso Dressing image

Superfast veggie dinner or side dish. Courtesy of Mark Bittman, the Minimalist, from the October 1 2009 NY Times. He's not sure whether to call this a warm salad or a room-temperature noodle dish. I love edamame beans, and buying them frozen is fine for this dish. Pick up a bag of pre-washed spinach for this too. Tossing the spinach with the warm noodles and veggies should wilt the spinach, or stir fry them together in a little water to wilt a bit more. Soba noodles are a staple of Japan. They have a slightly firm texture and nutty flavor.

Time 24m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ cup sesame seeds, divided

2 (4 ounce) tuna steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (1.12 ounce) package miso soup mix
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sesame seeds, seasoning salt, white pepper, onion powder, wasabi powder, kosher salt and flour; set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs and milk.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tuna steaks for 2 minutes per side, and immediately remove from heat. The inside of the fish should still be red.

Roasted Asparagus with Miso Dressing image

Miso has a rich taste, which is perfect for asparagus. This recipe has a nice Asian flavor and I like to serve this especially with teriyaki steak or salmon, and a crisp green salad.

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus spears
1 tablespoon oil
salt
3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons light miso
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon beet sugar (or granulated sugar)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Bend asparagus gently and allow to snap where they naturally break; discard end pieces.
  • Lay asparagus on a roasting pan, and drizzle with oil and lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • Roast for 20 minutes or until they are cooked through but not soft, shaking the pan mid-way through cooking.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • Whisk together the rice vinegar, miso, water, sesame oil, and sugar, until sugar is dissolved and everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Drizzle dressing over cool asparagus and allow to"marinate" at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality miso paste. Look for brands that are made with whole soybeans and have a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Taste the miso paste before using it in a dressing. This will help you determine how much salt and acidity to add.
  • Start with a small amount of miso paste and add more to taste. Miso paste can be quite salty, so it's important to use it sparingly.
  • Use a variety of ingredients to create different flavor profiles. Common ingredients include rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and scallions.
  • Experiment with different ratios of ingredients to find a dressing that you like. There is no right or wrong way to make a miso dressing.

Conclusion:

Miso dressing is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you are using it on a salad, grilled vegetables, or tofu, miso dressing is sure to add a delicious umami flavor.
