SESAME GINGER VINAIGRETTE



Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette image

My decision to devote this week's recipes to salad dressings was partly a reaction to my son's request for a bottled sesame ginger dressing. "We don't buy dressings in this house," I said huffily. The next day I looked at a bottle of sesame soy ginger dressing at a local market and was horrified to see that the second listed ingredient was sugar. I thought: I can make something sort of sweet and do better than that. And so I did. This dressing is great with green salads and cooked vegetables, as well as with noodles and grains.

ROASTED SALMON WITH MISO RICE AND GINGER-SCALLION VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Salmon With Miso Rice and Ginger-Scallion Vinaigrette image

This simple weeknight meal makes great use of pantry staples to create complex flavors with minimal work. Miso is often used to flavor soups or sauces, and here, it is added to raw rice before cooking, which results in a delightfully sticky, savory steamed rice. Fragrant and nutty basmati is called for, but any long-grain rice will work. Shredded cabbage brings freshness and crunch to the finished dish, but use whatever crispy vegetable you have on hand: shredded brussels sprouts, carrots, snap peas, radishes and iceberg lettuce are all great options. For a heftier meal, add some canned chickpeas, white beans or black beans. To finish, the vibrant tang of the bright ginger-scallion vinaigrette balances the richness of the roasted salmon.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup white or sweet miso
1 1/2 cups basmati or other long-grain rice
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped scallions, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
4 cups finely shredded cabbage, such as green, Napa or savoy (about 8 ounces)
Roasted sesame oil, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, whisk miso with 2 1/4 cups water until dissolved. Stir in rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork (it will be a little sticky).
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, rub salmon all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, vinegar and ginger, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide miso rice and cabbage among bowls. Top with salmon, ginger-scallion vinaigrette and sesame oil.

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
⅓ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅓ cup mayonnaise
½ cup soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pound cooked crabmeat
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¾ cup vegetable oil
lemon, zested
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
salt to taste
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
8 cups mixed salad greens
2 avocados - peeled, pitted and sliced

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper; continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and cayenne pepper; cook 2 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl and refrigerate until cold.
  • Stir the mayonnaise into the chilled vegetable mixture along with the soft bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, parsley, and beaten egg. Stir until combined, then gently fold in the crab meat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the dry bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Form the crab mixture into 8 cakes, 1/2 inch thick. Press the crab cakes into the bread crumbs one at a time until coated on all sides. Gently shake off excess crumbs, and place the crab cakes onto a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking 3/4 cup vegetable oil with the zest of 1 lemon, lemon juice, ginger, jalapeno, sugar, and salt. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Heat the frying oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, toss the mixed salad greens with the vinaigrette in a mixing bowl, and divide onto 8 serving plates. Arrange the sliced avocado over the salads, and set aside.
  • Once the oil is shimmering with heat, fry the crab cakes until golden brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Briefly drain on a paper towel-lined plate to rid the cakes of excess grease. Place a crab cake on top of each salad and serve immediately.

SESAME GINGER VINAIGRETTE DRESSING



Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette Dressing image

This is almost identical to one of my favorite salad dressing at the resturaunt Bread and Company. There, it is served on a strawberry fields salad, but it makes a delicious dressing on any salad, fruity, oriental, or as a mariande. Just like at the resturaunt it is oily, but thats what makes it so tasty! Shake well before using, and try not to eat it as soup!

ERIC'S SAUTEED GROUPER WITH BABY BOK CHOY AND SOY GINGER VINAIGRETTE



Eric's Sauteed Grouper with Baby Bok Choy and Soy Ginger Vinaigrette image

Chef Eric Ripert, of Le Bernardin in New York City, enjoys exploring foods from many parts of the world. Sauteed grouper prepared with baby bok choy, ginger, and soy and oyster sauces is an example of his interest in Asian foods and ingredients.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

Fine sea salt
12 heads baby bok choy (about 2 pounds), roots trimmed, leaves separated and cleaned
1 tablespoon finely diced ginger
2 tablespoons shallots, finely diced
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
6 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 seven-ounce grouper fillets
Freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Over high heat, bring a large stockpot filled with salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath, and set aside. Add bok choy to the boiling water. Blanch until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Immediately transfer bok choy to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, and set aside.
  • Place ginger and shallots in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in oyster sauce and vinegar. Whisk in 4 tablespoons canola oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and cayenne pepper. Set aside. (Up to this point, the recipe can be prepared 2 hours ahead.)
  • In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 1/4 cup water to a boil. Whisk in butter, and lower the heat to medium-high. Season bok choy with salt and pepper, and add it to the pan. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil between two 10-inch nonstick skillets. Place skillets over high heat until oil is just smoking. Season both sides of the grouper with salt and pepper. Place two grouper fillets in each skillet, and saute until the fish is browned on the bottom side, about 3 minutes. Turn, and saute about 3 minutes more, until a metal cake tester inserted into the center of the fillets feels hot when touched to your lip. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bok choy from the saucepan, and arrange it in the center of four dinner plates. Top with grouper. Whisk sauce lightly, and spoon it around the bok choy. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sauce, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of ginger: Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Young ginger has a milder flavor, while mature ginger is more pungent.
  • Peel the ginger properly: Use a spoon to scrape off the skin of the ginger. This will remove the tough outer layer and leave you with the tender flesh.
  • Grate or mince the ginger finely: This will help the ginger flavor disperse evenly throughout the vinaigrette.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is a key ingredient in this vinaigrette, so make sure to use a good quality oil that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add a bit of acidity: The acidity in this vinaigrette comes from the rice vinegar. You can also use white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Season to taste: Once you've made the vinaigrette, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or ginger.

Conclusion:

Ginger vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and grilled meats. It's easy to make and packed with flavor. The next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious dressing, give ginger vinaigrette a try. You won't be disappointed!
