How to Dress up Your Dinner with Wafu Vinaigrette (Japanese-Style Dressing)

Описание: Japan House Los Angeles is continuing its popular Japanese Food Lab program online with a new three-part Dress Up Your Dinner home cooking series. Hosted by Los Angeles-based chef Kuniko Yagi, this series will introduce easy, adaptable Japanese food recipes to add a special twist to dressings and sauces.

Wafū Dressing (Japanese-Style Vinaigrette)
Two of the most popular salad dressings used in Japanese home cooking are “Wafū” – translated as ‘Japanese-style’ – and Grated Carrot Dressing. Wafū dressing delivers a refreshing, delicate balance of soy and citrus notes, which can be a foil for aromatic variations such as wasabi, ginger, and shiso.

Ingredients & Recipe
Yield: 2½ cups
¾ cup soy sauce
½ cup rice wine vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons mirin (sweet Japanese cooking wine)
3-inch square piece kombu seaweed
¼ cup lemon juice (reserve half the squeezed lemon)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, and mirin in a small pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.

Pour the vinegar mixture into a glass jar, and add the kombu, lemon juice, and the squeezed half lemon (in order to transfer the lemon oil from the skin into the dressing). Rest the jar in the refrigerator overnight.

Remove the kombu and lemon half and discard. Add the olive oil and shake well before use.

Store refrigerated for up to two weeks.
