Tossed Asian Salad With Wasabi Vinaigrette Recipes

ASIAN SALAD WITH WASABI DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the wasabi sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger. In a large bowl or deep platter, layer the lettuce, cabbage, scallions, cilantro, straw mushrooms and bean sprouts. Drizzle on dressing, use as much as desired. Nutrition note: I try and keep my dressings light, so I actually only used half the amount listed, but I know it wouldn't be enough for many people and it is still just a little over 100 calories for the salad.

WASABI SEAFOOD SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with water and add ice. Add the lobster tails to the boiling water and boil until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. With tongs, transfer the lobster to the ice water; retain the cooking water. When cool, drain the lobster tails, crack the shells, and remove the meat. Quarter the meat and set aside.
• Return the water in the pot to a boil. Add the shrimp, and cook until just done, 3 to 5 minutes. Check the shrimp after 3 minutes; they must not overcook. Drain the shrimp and transfer immediately to the ice water. When cold, drain on paper towels and peel.
• In a small bowl, combine the wasabi, soy sauce, lemon juice, and sugar and whisk to blend. Whisk in the oil to make a light emulsion. In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, lobster meat, shrimp, mizuna, and tomatoes. Add the dressing, season with the salt and pepper, and toss to blend.
• Divide the salad among 4 plates. Garnish with the daikon sprouts and serve.

WASABI-SOY VINAIGRETTE

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.
