Next: Spicy Squash, Pineapples and Onions Up: Other Recipes
I got tired of salad dressings whose flavor is dominated by vinegar, and wanted a more complex taste. Here is the result of some experimentation.
1/2 cup (115 mL) concentrated beef (or other) broth
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) wasabi powder/paste (or substitute horseradish)
1/4 cup (60 mL) sesame oil
3 tablespoons (45 mL) rice or other mild vinegar
soy sauce to taste, if the broth is not salty
Amounts are approximate. Just mix the ingredients and shake well. I use about 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of "Better than bouillon" concentrated paste, and mix it and the other ingredients with 1/2 cup of boiling water. The dressing is very good warm over (for example) a spinach salad.
Cooking shellfish in the dressing and then pouring them with the liquid over a salad produces fine results. I intend to experiment with substituting miso for broth.
