Japanese 'Leeks' With Miso-Mustard image

Here is a recipe David Tanis built out of one he got from the cookbook author Nancy Singleton Hachisu for negi, the long Japanese onion that looks like a leek. You could try it with actual leeks, or with spring onions or even scallions in a pinch. It's a bit of a riff on the classic French leeks vinaigrette, but the taste is purely Japanese.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 negi (Japanese long onion), about ½-inch diameter, or substitute spring onions or small leeks
1 tablespoon hot Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons brown rice miso
3 tablespoons rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Wash and trim negi. Cut them to divide the white bottoms from the more tender green tops.
  • In a covered bamboo steamer set over rapidly boiling water, steam white bottoms for about 4 minutes. Add green tops and continue steaming for another 4 minutes, until negi are tender. Set aside uncovered to cool.
  • Stir together mustard, miso and vinegar. Transfer negi to a serving bowl and gently fold in dressing.

I wasn't a big fan of the leeks in this dish. I found them to be a bit too slimy.

I found that this dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less miso paste in the sauce.

The miso mustard sauce is the star of this dish. It's so flavorful and versatile. I could see it being used on other dishes, like grilled chicken or fish.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover leeks. I always have a few leeks in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.
