What do I normally have for lunch at home? I usually pile up a big salad, easy and skillless, best of all, it is quick. I want it zip, zap, bang. Always too lazy when I cook for myself when I eat alone. I want my food clean to clear my palettes and stomach to be ready for my next vice. I love salad and my new favourite now is with Wafu Dressing. This dressing is commonly called Wafu Dressing. I had been addicted to this dressing and now is a staple for me for the past week. Wafu dressing is a vinaigrette-type salad dressing based on soy sauce, popular in Japan. The name literally means Japanese-style dressing. The standard wafu dressing consists of a mixture of Japanese soy sauce, rice vinegar and vegetable oil. This dressing feels light and healthy especially after a weekend of gluttony.
Wafu Dressing
• 1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
• 1 tablespoon salad oil
• 1 teaspoon lime or lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon grated radish, to be added before serving• Freshly ground black pepper
Shake all the ingredients together in a jam jar. Once the sugar has dissolved, add and shake in 1 tablespoons of water and season again if needed.
What I add to my salad bowl
• Mixed salad leaves (here I use baby romaine lettuce)
• Cherry tomatoes
• Half avocados, sliced
• Some grated of parmesan reggiano (left overs from my cheese cream crackers)
• Feta cheese
• Smelt roe (goes so well with the wafu salad or mouthful of pops)
• Poached egg
• Good grind of pepper
You can just about add anything to your salad bowl. Boast it up with some frozen crab meat or even salmon sashimi slices.
