Wasabi Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• In a jar, combine wasabi powder and water. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Add vinegars and whisk to combine.
• Stir in oil and shake well to combine.
• Add parsley and salt (if desired) and shake well before serving.

Steps:

• Coat your steak with a combination of five-spice powder and grill seasoning or salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or griddle over high heat. Spray grill surface or wipe with a thin layer of oil. Add tuna steak to the hot cooking surface and sear tuna 2 minutes on each side. Remove tuna from heat.
• Combine greens, radishes and cucumber in a bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk wasabi, vinegar and soy sauce. Whisk in oil to combine dressing. Drizzle dressing over your salad and toss to coat evenly. Slice tuna on an angle and arrange on the salad.

Steps:

• Combine the mustard, vegetable, and extra-virgin olive oils in a cup with a pour spout.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the wasabi, lemon juice, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, yuzu kosho, and soy sauce, and whisk well. Slowly add the oils, whisking constantly to emulsify. Taste for seasoning, add salt, and set aside.
• Place tuna in a glass or stainless steel bowl. Add the shallots and chives, and toss gently to combine. Drizzle about half of the vinaigrette over the tuna, and mix well. Let the tartar sit for 2 minutes; taste for seasoning, and add more of the vinaigrette or salt, to taste. Leftover vinaigrette will keep, refrigerated, for 1 week.
• To serve: shape 1/6 of the tuna tartar into a disc and place it in the center of a serving plate. Arrange 3 dollops of seaweed salad around the disc and garnish with 3 potato slices. Top tuna with a small spoonful of caviar, if desired.
• Place the wakame in a mixing bowl, and soak it in tepid water for 20 to30 minutes. Remove from water, squeeze dry, and trim away the tough spine. Cut into thin strips, and place in a large mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, sugar, and both oils. Pour the dressing over the wakame, add the chile peppers, and toss. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Peel the potatoes, and using a mandolin for best results (you can thinly slice with a knife, but you will not get the criss-cross pattern which makes these potatoes unique), slice them thin in a criss-cross pattern with the zig-zag part of a mandolin. Lay the slices onto a non-stick sheet pan, not overlapping, and brush them with clarified butter. Bake until crisp, about 12 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small liquid measuring cup or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup water, the garlic, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and wasabi paste. Whisk to combine, or, if using a jar, seal tightly and shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste and add more wasabi if you like; the wasabi flavor will intensify as the vinaigrette sits.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This tastes great with any green salad, of course, but also with raw, crunchy vegetables, like cucumbers, sugar snap peas and thinly sliced asparagus.

Steps:

• Whisk rice wine vinegar, honey, soy sauce, wasabi paste, sesame oil, lime juice, and ginger together in a bowl to make dressing.

Steps:

• In a chilled bowl, mix tuna, hot pepper sauce, chives, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Using a PVC mold or empty can, build a parfait alternating layers with tuna and tobiko, then tuna and caviar. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chive points. Drizzle plate with vinaigrette.
• Mix all together. Should not be emulsified but a broken vinaigrette. Check for seasoning.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix wasabi with soy sauce, juice, and sugar. Whisk in the oil. Mix with seafood, mizuna and tomatoes. Check for seasoning. Garnish with daikon sprouts.

Steps:

• Make dashi:
• Wipe any sand or salt from kombu with a dampened cloth.
• Bring water and kombu almost to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Add katsuo bushi and bring to a boil, then boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand 3 minutes, skimming any foam. Pour dashi through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl.
• Make shrimp mixture:
• Cook carrot, onion, and mushrooms in 1/4 cup dashi, uncovered, in a small heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until carrot and onion are softened, about 4 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Stir together shrimp, fish, vegetable mixture, yolk, sea salt, shoyu, and sugar in a bowl until combined well, then knead with your hands to form a paste. Chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.
• Make wasabi vinaigrette:
• Whisk together wasabi paste and mayonnaise, then add mirin and rice vinegar in a slow stream, whisking until blended well. Season with white pepper.
• Make mirin sauce:
• Bring mirin, shoyu, sugar, and 1/4 cup dashi to a simmer in a small saucepan. Stir cornstarch mixture, then whisk into mirin mixture and boil, whisking, 1 minute. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
• Fry shrimp cakes:
• Heat oil in a deep 10-inch skillet over moderate heat until it registers 250°F on thermometer. While oil is heating, form shrimp mixture into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) cakes. Fry cakes until light golden, about 2 minutes on each side, then transfer with a wide metal spatula to paper towels to drain. Transfer cakes with spatula to clean paper towels to drain again. Cut each cake into 1/2-inch-wide slices.
• Assemble dishes:
• Divide mesclun among 4 plates and sprinkle with shiso leaves. Arrange shrimp cake slices over salads and drizzle with vinaigrette and mirin sauce. Top each serving with 2 rounded tablespoons katsuo bushi, then with sprouts.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients and whisk together until well blended and sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until used.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Make vinaigrette:
• Blend vinaigrette ingredients in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.
• Make cream:
• Whisk together wasabi powder and water until smooth, then whisk in sour cream. Season with salt.
• Make halibut:
• Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1 side of each piece with parsley.
• Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot. Add oil, then fish, parsleyed sides up. Sear fish until undersides are browned, about 1 minute.
• Turn fish over and put skillet in middle of oven. Roast until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Serve fish, parsleyed sides up, with a spoonful of each sauce.

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in small bowl; whisk to blend well. (Vinaigrette can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and rewhisk before using.) Remove grill rack from barbecue. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Rake coals into even layer. Allow coals to burn until just beginning to turn ash-gray. Place peppers directly on coals. Cook until peppers are blackened on all sides, turning frequently with tongs, about 7 minutes. Transfer peppers to bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Cool peppers to room temperature. Peel and seed peppers, then cut into 2x1-inch pieces.
• Arrange peppers on platter. Spoon vinaigrette over; sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
