Steps:
- Place the fruit on a cutting board lined with parchment. Trim the tops and bottoms of the melons and pineapple and sit them upright on the cutting board. Using a very sharp knife, cut away the rind, slicing lengthwise, working your way around the fruit. Cut about 24 very thin slices of melon in the same fashion, slicing from top to bottom, allowing the juices to collect on the parchment paper.
- Slice the pineapple lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices. Pile and cut into matchsticks.
- Pour the juices that have collected into a small bowl. Stir in the honey and set aside.
- To assemble the fruit sushi, lay the melon slices vertically on the cutting board. Place 3 pineapple matchsticks horizontally at the base of the melon slice and roll. Trim the base so that the rolls sit firmly on a dessert plate. Serve with the honey dipping sauce.
COLD FRUIT SUSHI WITH HONEY-STYLE DIPPING SAUCE
Pineapple matchsticks are rolled up in paper-thin slices of melon for a light, refreshing dessert that is prepared in the same fashion as sushi rolls. It's important that the fruit be perfectly ripe. Wrap cool slices of melon around pineapple matchsticks, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the pieces, wrap tightly, and refrigerate until it is time to serve dessert.

Steps:
- Ratio: if you like it SPICY, 1:1, or if you're like me, 1 part mayo to 2 parts sriracha If you like it mild with a touch of heat, and you are making it for you and one other person, I would put -4 whopping tblspns of Mayo -1 exact tblsn of sriracha I suggest serving it in a small shot glass or small mise-en-place kind of small-tchotcke-kind of glass or melamine receptacle. Even a cocktail flute would work if you wanted it in lieu of cocktail sauce for your shrimp... like a cracked out version of cocktail and tartar sauce in nirvana. Also, kindly please note that this would be a fabulous sauce on raw salmon to cook in oven... I will write up this as a separate recipe for you lazy folks who don't read the whole thing (like myself).
Tips for Making the Best Sushi Dipping Sauce:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and wasabi make all the difference in the flavor of your dipping sauce. Look for high-quality brands and avoid using store-bought sauces that contain artificial ingredients.
- Adjust the proportions to your taste: The recipe provided is a good starting point, but you can adjust the proportions of soy sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar to suit your own taste. If you like a sweeter sauce, add more mirin. If you like a tangier sauce, add more rice vinegar. And if you like a spicier sauce, add more wasabi.
- Let the sauce rest for a bit before using: This allows the flavors to meld together and develop. If you're short on time, you can use the sauce immediately, but it will be even better if you let it rest for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Serve the sauce in a small dish: This makes it easy for diners to dip their sushi into the sauce without making a mess.
Conclusion:
This sushi dipping sauce is the perfect complement to any sushi meal. It's easy to make, delicious, and versatile. Whether you're a sushi lover or just starting to explore Japanese cuisine, this sauce is sure to please. So next time you're making sushi at home, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
