Miso Tahini Dressing Recipes from The Kitchn. I don't often get so attached to one thing that it's all I eat, day in and day out, but it happened with a salad dressing a few months ago. A simple shake-up of miso paste, tahini, and lemon, it's nothing revolutionary, and certainly nothing I hadn't had before at the local healthy lunch joint, but for some reason it's really been hitting the spot.
Maybe it's because there's a five-year-old at my hip who declared it "the dressing that makes me into a lover of salad things" or perhaps it is because that five-year-old's babysitter asked to be paid in jars of dressing rather than real money, but there is something about this dressing that has given me the strange inertia to make it over and over and over again. It started with a friend who was tired of olive oil and lemon and we started talking about how many ways there are to dress a salad. She used to make something like this and I remembered how magical it was to combine the soft sesame of Tahini's with the fermented salty pop of miso. Springtime Soba with Miso Sauce Recipes from The Kitchn. With the arrival of longer, warmer days, I'm craving light and refreshing meals – the kind that take advantage of new spring produce and leave plenty of energy for an after-dinner walk to enjoy the extended sunshine and new blossoms around the neighborhood.
A soba noodle salad fits the bill, and this one features seasonal gifts like tender asparagus and peppery radishes, watercress, and chives. Rounded out with extra-crispy tofu and a buttery miso dressing, this one-dish vegetarian meal both satisfies and enlivens the palate. In creating this dish, I used the spring vegetables and herbs available to me; if you have peas, microgreens, or other produce, feel free to make substitutions. The key is to have a nice mix of fresh textures and flavors. The vegetables and herbs are left raw or lightly blanched (this really brings out the color and sweetness of the asparagus), while the soba is cooked, cooled, and tossed with a savory miso and butter sauce. Springtime Soba with Miso Sauce Serves 2. Spicy Roasted Chicken Thighs with Miso and Ginger. I think that boneless, skinless chicken thighs may just be the perfect meat.
They're inexpensive; even responsibly-raised meat is only a few dollars a pound. They cook quickly, and they have a melting, tender texture no matter what you do to them. I've roasted, grilled, and pan-fried chicken thighs, and they are always quick, easy, and delicious. Here's one recent recipe for a quick weeknight dinner: Spicy, piquant chicken thighs coated with a mix of miso, ginger, and chili paste. I have another recipe for spicy chicken thighs that I love to make for big dinner party crowds — it has coriander and cumin, along with hot peppers and tomato paste. This recipe leans more on Asian pantry staples like miso, ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. If you have a small chopper or food processor the paste comes together in a flash.
Overall, this is a tangy, slightly sweet and salty recipe with a pleasant kick of heat from the chili sauce. Spicy Roasted Chicken Thighs with Miso and Ginger serves 4 to 6. Soups. Mind & Body Food.
