Daikon Soba Noodle Salad With Miso Ginger Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Put miso, ginger, sugar, cayenne, mirin, soy sauce and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix together, and stir in grated daikon radish. Set aside.
• Boil the noodles in abundant salted water until cooked but still firm. Drain and rinse well with cold water. Blot dry.
• Divide noodles among four small bowls. Top with radish, radish sprouts and cucumber slices. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Garnish with torn or chopped shiso leaves. Serve with dressing and lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot and add 2 tablespoons salt.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the miso paste, ginger, soy sauce, and lime juice in a blender and blend, at medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and blend until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the oil. Once the dressing is smooth, add pepper to taste; you won't need salt, because the miso and soy sauce are salty. (The dressing can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated, covered.)
• Add the soba noodles to the boiling water and cook, stirring often, until al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse well under cold running water. Drain well, transfer to a baking sheet, then spread out and let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the noodles with the carrots, scallions, and radishes. Toss with the miso dressing and serve at room temperature or cold. (The soba salad can be made up to 2 hours in advance.)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Drop in the noodles and carrot and cook until tender, 2 to 4 minutes; add the edamame for about 30 seconds to 1 minute just to warm, then drain everything in a colander. Set aside.
• In a large salad bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, miso and mirin or sugar. Add spinach, noodles, carrot, edamame, scallion and toss; then taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with grated ginger at the table.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, whisk miso with 2 1/4 cups water until dissolved. Stir in rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork (it will be a little sticky).
• On a rimmed baking sheet, rub salmon all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, vinegar and ginger, and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide miso rice and cabbage among bowls. Top with salmon, ginger-scallion vinaigrette and sesame oil.
