NONA'S JAPANESE UME DRESSING
This is one of my many Japanese-style salad dressings I created to satisfy my taste. Ume(boshi) is a favored taste addition in many Japanese cooking. It shows up in cakes, cookies, snacks, mochi, salads, beverages, soups, with pork, chicken and fish, and of course dressing. You can find umeboshi in Japanese markets in refrigerated section. Ume is often called plum or pickled plums, however it is much closer to apricots. You can find ume trees in US now. Ume is not tasty fresh and must be either pickled or preserved.

JAPANESE UME DRESSING
I'm always tinkering and creating new Japanese salad dressing. This is one them I created 7-8 years ago and very tasty. Umeboshi can be found in Japanese markets in the refrigerated section. It is often called pickled plums. However, ume is closer to small apricots. The size range from dime to 50 cent piece. Smaller dime sized umeboshi is usually very crunchy and should not be used for this recipe as there is not enough fruit and taste is lacking and briny. Ume flavor is very, very popular in Japanese cooking. You can find ume confection, ume rice crackers, ume candy, ume ice cream, ume pork chops, ume drinks, ume in various salad dishes, and of course, ume dressing like this. Umeboshi is loved by Japanese as much as tea and rice.

Steps:
- Place 1 bunch scallions, cut into 4"-long pieces, very thinly sliced lengthwise, in a medium bowl of ice water and soak at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- Transfer scallions to a clean medium bowl. Add 2 tsp. gochugaru (coarse Korean red pepper powder), 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil, and 2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds and toss gently to combine.
- Just before serving, drizzle in 2 tsp. unseasoned rice vinegar and season with kosher salt; toss to combine. Do ahead: Scallion salad (without vinegar and salt) can be made 1 hour ahead. Cover and chill.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dressing will taste. If possible, use umeboshi plums that are still slightly tart.
- Don't over-chop the umeboshi plums: You want them to retain some of their texture in the dressing.
- Use a good quality rice vinegar: The rice vinegar will add a subtle sweetness and acidity to the dressing.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste: Some people prefer a sweeter dressing, while others prefer a more tart dressing. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste.
- Use the dressing right away or store it in the refrigerator for later use: The dressing will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
Ume scallion dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for salads, grilled meats, and fish.
