Black Bass In Miso Soup With Udon And Shiitakes Recipes

ROASTED BLACK BASS ON JASMINE RICE, MISO GLAZE AND SEAWEED MAO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the miso, mirin, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Slowly stir in the sesame oil to make the miso glaze. Marinate the bass in the miso glaze for 5 to 6 hours, refrigerated.
• In a pot, combine rice and water and cook in rice cooker until done. Reserve and keep warm.
• Arrange the fish fillets on a roasting pan. Generously coat with the miso glaze, and discard the rest of the glaze. Bake in a preheated 500 degree F oven for about 10 minutes or until medium done.
• Preheat a deep fryer, or oil in a large pot to 360 degrees F. Place the seaweed mao in the fryer and fry for 30 seconds until crisp. Remove from the fryer and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Garnish each fillet with the seaweed mao. Serve immediately.
• Place an iceberg lettuce cup on a dinner plate. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the jasmine rice in center, place a fillet on top and drizzle miso glaze from roasting pan over the rice.

• Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add ginger, shallots, and mushrooms; cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to soften and turn golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Stir chicken stock, vinegar, and soy sauce into pan, and bring to a simmer. Cook until mushrooms are very tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and scallions, and stir to combine. To serve, divide noodles among four shallow bowls; ladle soup over noodles.

JAPANESE NOODLES IN MISO SOUP MISO NIKOMI UDON

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into small pieces and salt lightly.
• Soak the shiitake in water until the tops (but not the stems) are soft.
• Remove the stems and cook briefly in a small amount of water flavored with soy sauce and sugar, to flavor mildly; I would use about 1/4 cup water with 2 to 3 teaspoons each soy sauce and sugar.
• Prepare the aburage by placing it in a metal sieve in the sink and pouring 1 to 2 cups boiling water over each side, being careful not to burn yourself.
• This is to remove some of the oil.
• Rinse in warm water, squeeze dry and cut into 3 by 1/2 cm rectangles.
• Wash and scrape the gobo with the edge of a knife (the most flavor is just below the surface of the skin, so don't scrape too deeply; the scraped areas will darken almost immediately, this can't completely be helped), and cut into slivers, as if you are sharpening a pencil, into a bowl of water.
• Cut the green onion into thin slices.
• Peel the hard boiled eggs and slice horizontally.
• Stir the miso and dashi together and strain.
• Place miso mixture into a large pan; add the milk and just bring to a boil.
• Immediately lower the heat to simmer.
• Boil the udon in a lot of boiling water in a separate pan.
• Stop cooking when the udon is still a little firm; drain and rinse under cold running water to remove starch.
• Add the drained udon, chicken, drained shiitake, aburage, and gobo to the pan containing the simmering miso mixture, in this order.
• When the udon and chicken are cooked through add the kamaboko and green onion and increase heat so that the soup will just boil up once more.
• Remove from heat, divide into individual bowls, garnish with hard boiled egg slices and sprinkle on sansho.

GINGER-MISO STRIPED BASS IN SHIITAKE MUSHROOM BROTH

Steps:

• Whisk 2 cups water and 2 tablespoons red miso in medium saucepan. Add shiitake mushrooms and simmer over medium heat until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in dark and pale green onion tops. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
• Meanwhile, mix 2 tablespoons red miso, minced white part of green onion, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and minced fresh ginger in small bowl. Sprinkle striped bass fillets with salt and pepper. Spread ginger mixture over 1 side of bass fillets, pressing to adhere. Sprinkle panko over coated side of fillets; press to adhere.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fillets to skillet, coated side down, and sauté until brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn fillets over and sauté until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Divide shiitake mushroom broth and shiitake mushrooms between 2 shallow bowls. Place 1 fish fillet in center of each bowl. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over and serve.
