MISO MAYO DRESSING

Steps:

• Peel and grate the ginger to yield ¼ tsp.
• In a large mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, white miso paste, ginger, soy sauce and juice of ½ lemon.
• Mix until it is well combined.

MISO-GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• Put all ingredients except salt and pepper into a food processor and pulse a few times to mince carrots. Then let machine run for a minute or so, until mixture is chunky-smooth. (If you want it smoother, use a blender.) Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.

MISO MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Stir the miso into the mayonnaise (homemade is best) until smooth.
• Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to a week.

MISO-GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine the miso and vinegar (or vinegar and lime juice) in a small bowl and whisk together. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until amalgamated. You can also mix this in a blender.
• Toss with the salad of your choice.

MISO CHICKEN SANDWICHES WITH GINGER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For the chicken: Heat the broiler and line a broiler pan with foil, or you can grill the chicken.
• Stir the miso, soy sauce, and ginger together and brush both sides of the chicken with the mixture.
• Broil on the foil lined pan, 6 inches from the heat, or grill, turning once about 2 minutes per side until cooked through, set aside.
• For the mayonnaise: Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, chili or hot sauce and sesame oil together in a bowl, set aside.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Slice the chicken in pieces.
• Cut the rolls open and spread the mayonnaise on the 2 halves of each, layer the chicken, avocado and cucumber slices, and sprouts on each roll.

MISO-GLAZED FISH

Steps:

• Combine the mirin and sake in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in the miso and the sugar. Whisk over medium heat without letting the mixture boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sesame oil. Allow to cool. Transfer to a wide glass or stainless steel bowl or baking dish.
• Pat the fish fillets dry and brush or rub on both sides with the marinade, then place them in the baking dish and turn them over a few times in the marinade remaining in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 to 3 hours, or for up to a day.
• Light the broiler or prepare a grill. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Tap each fillet against the sides of the bowl or dish so excess marinade will slide off. Place skin side up on the baking sheet if broiling.
• Place the fish skin side down on the grill, or skin side up under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat. Broil or grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the surface browns and blackens in spots. If necessary (this will depend on the thickness of the fillets) finish in a 400-degree oven, for about 5 minutes, until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.

GINGER-MISO PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Add in the broccoli and cook for 1 minute more. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add the miso paste, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, canola oil, vinegar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds to a mason jar, cover and shake to emulsify. Set aside.
• Add the cucumbers, bell peppers, edamame, and carrots to a large bowl. Add in the warm pasta and broccoli. Pour the dressing onto the salad and toss to combine. Garnish with chopped chives and sesame seeds.
