Miso Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon each white miso, honey, toasted sesame oil and vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a large bowl. Add 4 cups shredded red cabbage, 1 grated carrot, 1/2 grated small peeled celery root and 1 sliced scallion. Toss; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, miso and honey. Season with a pinch of salt (miso is salty, so don't overdo it) and a few grinds of black pepper.
• Roughly chop any long pieces of cabbage so they are bite-size. Transfer cabbage to a large bowl and toss with half the dressing, adding more as you like. Slaw can be made up to this point up to 1 day ahead.
• Just before serving, add cilantro, peanuts and lime juice, and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Combine miso, honey, 1/4 cup water, lemon juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, and ginger in blender; blend until smooth. With machine running, gradually add vegetable oil. Season miso dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
• Combine jicama, cucumber, red bell pepper, carrot, and chopped fresh cilantro in large bowl. Toss vegetables with enough miso dressing to coat.
• *Available at Japanese markets and natural foods stores and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine dashi granules and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and whisk in the miso paste. Stir in tofu. Separate the layers of the green onions, and add them to the soup. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
