ASIAN ESSENTIALS: CREAMY MISO DIPPING SAUCE



Asian Essentials: Creamy Miso Dipping Sauce image

This recipe turned out to be an all-nighter. It started out as a dressing for a mess of greens, then a short time later I decided it was going to be a coating for baked chicken. Then, as the sun was illuminating the Eastern horizon, it finally wound up as a dipping sauce for chicken wings or tenders. Or, drizzled over some...

Provided by Andy Anderson !

Categories     Dips

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

PLAN/PURCHASE
1/2 - 3/4 c mayonnaise, plan variety, i prefer duke's
1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger, or 1.5 teaspoons ginger powder
1 Tbsp tamari sauce, or liquid aminos
1 Tbsp tahini
1 Tbsp white, yellow, or red miso
2 tsp fish sauce
3/4 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/8 tsp coconut sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 Tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
salt, kosher variety, if needed
white pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. You can make your own mayonnaise (I usually do); however, I do not wish to over complicate this recipe. So, a good store-bought mayo will work fine. If you are feeling on the healthy side, you can substitute the mayonnaise with a product called, Vegenaise. It is a vegan version that is really good.
  • 3. All About Miso Paste White Miso: The mildest of the four. It is made from soybeans that have been fermented along with a large percentage of rice. Depending on how it is fermented the color can be from white to a light beige. Of the four, it has a sweet taste, and great for salad dressings and light sauces. Yellow Miso: Yellow miso is traditionally made from soybeans fermented with barley and a small percentage of rice. It can be yellow to light brown in color. It is mild, with earthy flavor notes, and works well in condiments, soups, marinades, and glazes. Red Miso: Made with soybeans fermented with barley or other grains, though with a higher percentage of soybeans and a longer fermentation period. It can range in color from red to dark brown. The deep umami flavor of red miso can overwhelm mild dishes, but is perfect for hearty soups, braises, and glazes. Brown Miso: Made almost entirely from soybeans, with a long fermentation time, this miso is the strongest and saltiest of the four. The color can range from a deep brown to almost black. Because of its strength, it does not work well in dressings or light sauces. I do find it works with beef and pork dishes. Additional Note The depth of color with any particular miso can also tell you something about its flavor. Generally speaking, the darker the color, the longer it's been fermented and the stronger it will taste. So, check the actual color of the paste for an indication of how mild or strong it is. One More Thing Miso is very salty, so make sure you taste it before adding any additional sodium.
  • 4. You can make the dressing a day or two before serving. Just make sure it is tightly covered and refrigerated.
  • 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 6. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl.
  • 7. Whisk together until smooth.
  • 8. Do a final tasting for proper seasoning before serving.
  • 9. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 10. Serve with a plate of chicken tenders, wings, or just drizzle over some yummy baked chicken. Enjoy.
  • 11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

(Do not remove tail or claw meat from shells.) Lobsters may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. (If making ahead, chill lobster immediately and keep chilled until ready to grill.)
  • Prepare grill.

Grill claws on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, covered, turning them occasionally, until liquid bubbles at open ends, about 5 minutes, and transfer to a serving platter.

Number Of Ingredients 28

Lamb:
4 green onions, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons sugar
3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled, cut into thin rounds
2/3 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1/3 cup Asian sesame oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 boned butterflied leg of lamb (about 5 1/2 pounds; from one 6 1/2- to 7-pound bone-in leg), trimmed of excess fat
Dipping sauce and garnishes:
1 cup chopped peeled cored Asian pear (about 1/2 large)
10 green onions; 2 chopped, 8 trimmed
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
4 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, divided
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
8 jalapeño chiles, halved (seeded, if desired)
8 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup kochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1 large head of butter lettuce, leaves separated and left whole
Ingredient info: Mirin is sold in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets and at Japanese markets. Kochujang is a spicy red paste made with pureed fermented soybeans (miso) and hot chiles. It's available at Korean markets and online from koamart.com. If you can't find Kochujang, substitute 1/3 cup miso mixed with 2 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce.
Test-Kitchen tip: Ask your butcher to bone, butterfly, and trim the leg of lamb for you. Save the bone, pop it in the freezer, and use it to make soup or stock.
Special Equipment
3 metal skewers or bamboo skewers soaked in water at least 1 hour

Steps:

  • For lamb:
  • Place green onions, sugar, chopped garlic, and sliced ginger in processor and blend until finely chopped, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add soy sauce, mirin, Asian sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, and black pepper; whisk marinade to blend. Pour 1 cup marinade into 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Open boned leg of lamb like book; add to baking dish, arranging in single layer. Pour remaining marinade over lamb, spreading to cover evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 1 day, turning lamb occasionally.
  • For dipping sauce and garnishes:
  • Puree Asian pear and chopped green onions in processor until smooth. Add soy sauce, mirin, and sugar and process until sugar dissolves. Add Asian sesame oil and 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds; process until sesame oil is incorporated (most sesame seeds will remain intact). Transfer sauce to 2-cup measuring cup. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Dipping sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Coat grill rack with nonstick spray; prepare barbecue (medium heat). Thread jalapeño chile halves onto 2 metal skewers, dividing equally. Thread garlic cloves onto another metal skewer, spacing slightly apart. Place jalapeño and garlic skewers on plate and set aside.
  • Remove lamb from marinade and place on prepared grill with some marinade still clinging to surface (discard marinade in dish). Grill lamb until meat is cooked to desired doneness, about 15 to 20 minutes per side for medium (if lamb begins to burn, slide large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil underneath and continue to grill). Transfer lamb to work surface and let rest 10 minutes.
  • While lamb rests, grill jalapeños, garlic, and trimmed green onions until slightly charred and tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to work surface.
  • Place kochujang (hot pepper paste) in small bowl. Stir dipping sauce and divide among 8 small dishes. Arrange butter lettuce leaves on large serving platter to cover. Thinly slice grilled lamb and arrange over lettuce leaves. Cut garlic cloves lengthwise in half. Cut green onions into 2-inch pieces. Arrange jalapeños, garlic, and green onions around lamb. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds over lamb. Serve grilled lamb and vegetables with hot pepper paste. Allow guests to spread very small amounts of kochujang over lettuce leaves, arrange lamb and vegetables in lettuce leaves, then wrap filling with lettuce leaves and dip into sauce.

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sugar
Squeeze of juice from 1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
Dried hot red pepper flakes or Asian chile paste to taste
Special Equipment

Steps:

  • Make filling:
  • Cook spinach in 1 inch simmering water in a small saucepan, stirring, until wilted, about 5 seconds. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water until cool. Squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible. Finely chop spinach and stir with remaining filling ingredients until blended.
  • Fill wrappers and steam dumplings:
  • Stack a few wonton wrappers (keep remaining wrappers covered) and cut into rounds with a 2 1/2-inch cutter. Spread 1 slightly rounded teaspoon filling onto each round, spreading up to but not over edge. Bring up edge of each round, pleating to form a cup and leaving open at top.
  • Bring enough water to a boil in a wok so that bottom rim of steamer (not basket) rests in water. Line steamer rack with lettuce. Arrange dumplings over lettuce, making sure dumplings do not touch each other. Cover with steamer lid and steam until filling is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Make dipping sauce:
  • Stir together all sauce ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. This is especially important for the herbs and spices.
  • Balance the flavors: Asian dipping sauces typically have a balance of sweet, sour, salty, and umami flavors. Use a variety of ingredients to achieve this balance.
  • Adjust the consistency: The consistency of the sauce should be thick enough to coat the food, but not too thick that it's difficult to dip.
  • Garnish the sauce: A simple garnish, such as a sprinkle of chopped herbs or a drizzle of sesame oil, can add a touch of elegance to the sauce.
  • Serve the sauce at room temperature: Most Asian dipping sauces are best served at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld together.
