Ginger Crusted Onaga With Corn Mushrooms And Miso Sesame Vinaigrette Recipes

GINGER-SESAME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, ginger, sesame oil and a generous pinch of salt in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing. Whisk in a couple grinds of pepper.

GRILLED ONAGA

Steps:

• Score the fish and insert ginger into the cuts. Place the fish in a bowl. Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl and pour the marinade over the fish before grilling. Marinate for about 20 minutes. Wrap the fish in foil and place on the grill. Cook until flesh is just opaque.

MISO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the oil, vinegar and miso in a small mixing bowl using a whisk. Season with salt and pepper.

MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE THAT'S GOOD ON ANYTHING

Steps:

• Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
• With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
• Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.

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.
