Cold Wasabi Ginger Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• NOTE:.
• Mirin or rice wine, and wasabi paste are available in Asian markets or gourmet/ethnic foods section of grocery stores.
• Place ginger, shallot and garlic in blender jar; cover blender jar.
• Set on Low; pulse 5 times.
• Scrape sides of jar; pulse 5 times.
• Add remaining ingredients in order given.
• Blend for 20 seconds.
• Transfer to a resealable container and let stand for 30 minutes before using, to allow flavors to develop.
• Unused portions may be refrigerated for up to a week - stir before using.
• Tip:.
• As a marinade, use about 1 tablespoon of marinade per portion.
• Meats such as boneless, skinless chicken parts, pork chops, or steaks can be placed in a resealable freezer-weight bag, coated with marinade and frozen.
• When thawed, they will be fully marinated and ready to cook.

Steps:

• Mix together all of the ingredients in a blender until very smooth.
• Chill and serve over a crisp green salad, fruit salad or noodles.
• Note: It may be necessary to scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice during blending.

Steps:

• Marinade: Place the wasabi in a small bowl and slowly add in the water, whisking, to make a paste.
• Add the vinegar and soy, and whisk well.
• Place the salmon fillets in a glass baking dish or ziplock bag and coat evenly on both sides with the wasabi mixture.
• Season lightly with the Essence.
• Place the panko crumbs in a shallow dish.
• Turn both sides of the fillets in the crumbs to coat evenly, pressing to make the crumbs adhere.
• Set on a waxed paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• MAKE SAUCE: In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the shallots, ginger, orange zest, wine, and orange juice and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced in volume by 2/3. Add the cream and cook until reduced by 1/2.
• Whisking constantly, add the butter a bit at a time, waiting until each is completely incorporated before adding the next piece.
• Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth.
• Add the soy sauce, salt, to taste, and wasabi.
• Serve warm with the Wasabi-Crusted Salmon. (NOTE: If not being served immediately, place in a hot water bath, covered, and stir occasionally).
• Salmon: In a large skillet or saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the fish and cook until medium-rare, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending upon the thickness of the fish.
• Divide among 4 serving plates, drizzle with the Orange-Ginger Sauce, and dust with the seeds.
• Serve immediately with steamed rice, and pass the remaining sauce at the table.

Steps:

• In a skillet, sauté the shrimp, ginger, and garlic in the oil for 3 minutes or until shrimp is cooked. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain; rinse in cold water and drain again.
• To serve, layer noodles, shrimp, cabbage, carrots, radishes, basil, and jalapeno in individual bowls. Pour dressing over top of each serving and sprinkle cashews or wasabi peas over top.
• A Word of Caution: I highly suggest using the recommended 1 1/2 tsp of wasabi paste to start. Only add more if, after mixing it with the rest of the ingredients in the individual bowls, additional heat is desired. The sauce by itself never seemed hot to us, so we used almost an entire tube of wasabi -- and subsequently cried our way through dinner.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients but oil in blender.
• Blend for 2 minutes.
• With blender still running slowly drizzle in the oil until well blended.
• Refrigerate .
• Will keep for 2-3 weeks.
