Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 1/2 cups cooked rice -- (3 to 4 cups), cooled, brown or white

short grain

1/4 cup chopped scallions

1 small red bell pepper -- or yellow, or 1/2 large, cored,

seeded and chopped

1/4 cup grated celery -- or shredded

1/4 cup grated carrot -- or shredded

1/4 cup simple miso dipping sauce -- below

2 sheets nori -- crumbled

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1 cup cubed firm tofu -- preferably baked

2 tablespoons sesame seeds -- black or white

 

Put the rice and all the vegetable in a large bowl. Drizzle with the vinaigrette

and use 2 big

forks to combine, fluffing the rice and tossing gently to separate the grains.

 

 

Stir in the nori and sesame seeds, taste, and adjust the seasoning or moisten

with a little more

dressing. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for up to a day, bringing the

salad back to

room temperature before serving.

 

 

Serves 4

 

 

Simple Miso Dipping Sauce

6 T. miso paste

3/4 cup warm water, or sake

1 t. sugar

1 T. mirin, or honey

1 T. rice vinegar, or more to taste

Salt

 

Put everything except the salt in a small bowl and whisk together. Taste and add

more vinegar and

salt if needed.

 

Serve immediately, heat gently, or chill in the refrigerator. Covered tightly,

the sauce will keep

for about a week.

 

Makes about 1 cup (4 servings)

Time: 5 mins

 

AuthorNote: " Richer and more subtle than Ponzu sauce or other soy-based dipping

sauces, this is

perfect for dunking or dressing heartier foods like boiled or grilled potatoes,

whole wheat

pastas, and meatless meat balls. Serve it in small bowls for dipping sauce or as

a dressing or

standard sauce.

 

The type of miso you choose will make this sauce lighter or heavier, but its

good all ways. Warm

it gently on the stove if you like; just don't let it come to a boil or you will

weaken the

flavor. "
