FUYU PERSIMMON SALAD



Fuyu Persimmon Salad image

The Fuyu persimmon, round and squat and rather tomato-shaped, is the kind you can eat raw. You want to buy the ones that have turned truly orange (if they are greenish-gold, let them ripen for a few days), then peel them and slice them. The flesh is firm but sweet. Eat them plain, in the Japanese fashion, with a pot of tea. Fuyus persimmons make wonderful salads, too.

SWEET GINGER VINAIGRETTE



Sweet Ginger Vinaigrette image

Categories     Sauce     Ginger     Quick & Easy     Salad Dressing     Vinegar     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup corn, peanut, or canola oil
3 tablespoons fine julienne strips of peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Toasted Sichuan-Peppercorn Salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil in an 8-inch skillet over moderate heat until it shimmers and a single julienne of ginger dropped into it bubbles to surface immediately. Stir in remaining ginger julienne. Fry just until golden, 10 to 20 seconds, then carefully pour mixture into a sieve set over a heatproof bowl. Spread fried ginger on paper towels to drain (for salad topping) and cool oil.
  • Press or squeeze enough grated ginger to extract 2 tablespoons juice using a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
  • Whisk together ginger juice, vinegar, sugar, and peppercorn salt to taste until sugar is dissolved, then whisk in cooled ginger oil.
  • Use fried ginger as a salad topping.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe persimmons. Look for persimmons that are deep orange in color and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Peel and slice the persimmons. Use a sharp knife to peel the persimmons, then slice them into thin wedges.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing can be made up to 2 hours before serving.
  • Toss the salad just before serving. This will help to prevent the persimmons from getting too soft.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Persimmon salad is best enjoyed fresh.
