I often make ohitashi - a cold side dish of cooked vegetables, seaweed, seafood etc. I wanted to try a different version from my usual repertoire.Blanch the spinach for about 1 minute. Shock in chilled water immediately, then squeeze out the excess water so that the spinach retains some of its texture. This dish is best when chilled before serving. Adjust the amount of ginger to taste. Recipe by Karin

I had some green beans that had to be used.Drain the water well before adding the mayonnaise to the vegetables. The excess water will dilute the sauce and the salad will not taste good otherwise. Please combine with mayonnaise after patting dry the vegetables with paper towels. Recipe by Necchan

Spinach and mayonnaise goes well with eggs.

I wanted to create an easier version of salmon chanchan yaki, and improve on it.Use any kind of miso. If you'd like your seasonings on the sweeter side, use white miso.Since the salmon isn't pre-seasoned, you can top a generous amount of the sauce on top.It may seem like a lot of sesame seeds, but I think it's just right in adding some crunch to the salmon.
