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.

Smoky bacon, crunchy shredded lettuce, and a zesty dressing-what's not to like?

Provided by Bryant Ng

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Salad     Chicken     Bacon     Ginger     Sesame     Sesame Oil     Green Onion/Scallion     Summer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, cut into very thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon white miso
2 teaspoons fish sauce
3/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Pinch of sugar
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 small rotisserie chicken, skin removed, meat shredded (about 4 cups)
1 head of green leaf lettuce, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick ribbons
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a dry medium skillet over medium heat, turning slices occasionally, until brown and crisp, 5-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; let cool.
  • Cook ginger in a small saucepan of boiling water 1 minute. Drain ginger and rinse under cold water; set aside.
  • Whisk soy sauce, tahini, miso, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Whisk egg yolk and remaining 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a medium bowl to combine. Very gradually stream in 1/2 cup vegetable oil (almost drop by drop), whisking constantly until mayonnaise is emulsified and thick. Still whisking constantly, gradually add soy sauce mixture, then remaining 1/4 cup oil. Thin dressing with a tablespoon or two of water if needed; you want it to be the consistency of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss chicken and 1/2 cup dressing in a large bowl to coat. Add lettuce and another 1/2 cup dressing and toss again; season with salt and pepper. Crumble bacon over.
  • Transfer salad to a serving bowl or platter and drizzle another tablespoon or so of dressing over salad (you may have some left over). Top with scallions, sesame seeds, and reserved ginger.
  • Do Ahead
  • Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips for Making the Best Miso Dressing:

  • Use high-quality miso paste. The better the miso, the better the dressing will be. Look for miso that is made with whole soybeans and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Adjust the dressing to your taste. The recipe below is a starting point. You can add more or less of any ingredient to suit your preferences. For example, if you like a sweeter dressing, add more honey or maple syrup. If you like a tangier dressing, add more rice vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Use the dressing on a variety of foods. Miso dressing is great on salads, vegetables, fish, chicken, and tofu. It can also be used as a marinade or dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Miso dressing is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of foods. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new dressing to try, give miso dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
