Transfer to a small bowl and reserve the skillet. Add the scallions and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil to the bowl and set aside. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle with the scallion mixture and salt and fold in half like a book. Press the halves together with your fingers and then roll the dough out again until it is 1/8-inch thick. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Stretch and roll each piece until very thin, pinching the edges together to keep the filling from spilling out. When the dough is thin enough, you should be able to see the filling through the dough. The pieces should be 7 to 8 inches in diameter, although they need not be perfectly round.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the canola oil over medium-high heat in the same skillet. When very hot, add a piece of the dough and cook, turning once, until it is puffed and cooked through and has some charred spots, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, adding more canola oil as needed to just lightly coat the bottom of the skillet and reducing the heat if the dough starts to burn before it cooks through. Cut the flatbreads into pieces and serve with the dip and cooked shrimp.

ASIAN ESSENTIALS: CREAMY MISO DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You can make your own mayonnaise (I usually do); however, I do not wish to over complicate this recipe. So, a good store-bought mayo will work fine. If you are feeling on the healthy side, you can substitute the mayonnaise with a product called, Vegenaise. It is a vegan version that is really good.
• 3. All About Miso Paste White Miso: The mildest of the four. It is made from soybeans that have been fermented along with a large percentage of rice. Depending on how it is fermented the color can be from white to a light beige. Of the four, it has a sweet taste, and great for salad dressings and light sauces. Yellow Miso: Yellow miso is traditionally made from soybeans fermented with barley and a small percentage of rice. It can be yellow to light brown in color. It is mild, with earthy flavor notes, and works well in condiments, soups, marinades, and glazes. Red Miso: Made with soybeans fermented with barley or other grains, though with a higher percentage of soybeans and a longer fermentation period. It can range in color from red to dark brown. The deep umami flavor of red miso can overwhelm mild dishes, but is perfect for hearty soups, braises, and glazes. Brown Miso: Made almost entirely from soybeans, with a long fermentation time, this miso is the strongest and saltiest of the four. The color can range from a deep brown to almost black. Because of its strength, it does not work well in dressings or light sauces. I do find it works with beef and pork dishes. Additional Note The depth of color with any particular miso can also tell you something about its flavor. Generally speaking, the darker the color, the longer it's been fermented and the stronger it will taste. So, check the actual color of the paste for an indication of how mild or strong it is. One More Thing Miso is very salty, so make sure you taste it before adding any additional sodium.
• 4. You can make the dressing a day or two before serving. Just make sure it is tightly covered and refrigerated.
• 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 6. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl.
• 7. Whisk together until smooth.
• 8. Do a final tasting for proper seasoning before serving.
• 9. PLATE/PRESENT
• 10. Serve with a plate of chicken tenders, wings, or just drizzle over some yummy baked chicken. Enjoy.
• 11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
