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.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, noodles, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 pound angel hair pasta, noodles broken into thirds
2 tablespoons safflower or canola oil
1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 red or yellow medium bell peppers, cored, seeded and sliced lengthwise 1/8-inch thick
8 ounces snap peas, halved lengthwise
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
Toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, and season generously with salt.
  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
  • Once the water boils, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl. Add half the dressing and 1/4 cup pasta water, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat.
  • Meanwhile, in a large deep-sided saucepan, heat safflower oil over medium. Add onion and bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water and the remaining dressing. Stir to deglaze the pan and lift the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, then add vegetable mixture (with sauce) and scallions to pasta and toss until well combined (add more pasta water if thinner sauce is desired). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shiitake mushrooms. Fresh shiitake mushrooms have a more intense flavor and a better texture than dried mushrooms.
  • Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Marinate the mushrooms in the sesame-ginger vinaigrette for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse the mushrooms with flavor.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium heat until they are tender. Do not overcook the mushrooms, as they will become tough.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will ensure that the mushrooms are still warm and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This shiitake salad with sesame-ginger vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The mushrooms are packed with flavor and the vinaigrette is light and refreshing. This salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, potassium, and iron.
