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.

GINGER, MISO AND CILANTRO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and ginger and sauté 2 minutes. Add broth, orange juice concentrate and vinegar. Boil until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 6 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Return to boil before continuing.) Stir in miso and cilantro. Simmer 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

• Whisk together mirin, miso, vinegar, shoyu, Worcestershire, garlic and ginger in a small bowl.
• Serve whole or sliced steak sprinkled with togarashi (Japanese 7-spice, made with a sprinkle of chili, sesame and nori) and a squeeze of grilled lime. Spoon the miso ginger sauce over sliced meat or pass the bowl at the table.

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.
