Cucumber Spirals with Spicy Peanut Dressing

Cucumber has a lot of moisture, so adding boiled egg helps to release water. It leaves the flavor of egg, at the same time, giving body to the taste and a plain flavor.

We use this dressing on a tuna nacho... A big seller at the restaurant I run. When we ran out of our pre made dressing, I turned to scratch and haven't ordered since.. Enjoy it on anything from sushi to a Japanese salad.

I tried to recreate a side dish that I ate in a Benitora gyoza dumpling restaurant.I changed the tool for pounding from a knife to a rolling pin (users were rightly saying that it's dangerous!). I used a small rolling pin that I would normally use to roll out gyoza dumpling wrappers. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki

Featured as a side dish in a premium menu and gained popularity—thank you! This dish offers a different deliciousness compared to sesame dressing. While rapeseed blossoms are the standard, spinach is also great!The origin of this recipe: My mother used to grind peanuts in a mortar, but I use peanut butter.In 2017, a TV program highlighted that peanuts, among other nuts, have a good balance of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and are considered a longevity (health) food.

My husband had pepper jelly dressing on a trip to New Orleans and asked me to try and make it. This is a hot sweet and spicy dressing. It’s great for salads or as a drizzle for seafood, meats and vegetables. The addition of the fresh jalapeño provides a freshness and heat. Remove the seeds for a milder dressing.

I wanted to come up with a fried recipe using olive oil since I bought a big bottle. My family loves eggplant, so I tried using that.The eggplants will be crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside if fried, so I recommend it. Use whatever vegetables you like in the salad. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Renbasu

This is a variation of a recipe a friend of mine taught me.Slice the onion thinly so that it works well as part of the dressing.You can use tataki (bashed) cucumber instead of jabara cucumber.Sweet onions have lots of moisture, so be a bit generous with the salt. For 2 servings. Recipe by nekoland

I wanted to make a bangbangji like dish, so I came up with this. Now it's part of our family's regular rotation.There's nothing to this recipe. Just be careful not to overcook the chicken tenders. For 2 servings. Recipe by Chiton

I wanted to make a light and refreshing salad!Use plenty of shiso leaves. For 2 servings. Recipe by Teroron

With so much rain and the mild weather we've had, my herb garden is turning into a jungle, with all the plants growing huge. Today I decided to use the mint leaves for a delicious and nutritious cucumber salad, which is very cheap and in season. If you can't find mint, you can use spearmint.

I made this when I was out of dressing. It was really good, so I've been relying on it ever since.This is also good with mizuna greens or green bell peppers instead of cucumber.If you leave it standing for too long the tofu will start to exude moisture, so I recommend making it just before you plan to eat it. For 2 servings. Recipe by naganyo

This came to me when I was nibbling on a cucumber after taking a bath, because I didn't have any dessert on hand.Just chill it very well in the refrigerator!!Slice the cucumbers very thinly.Use whatever ponzu sauce you like, but I recommend one that has yuzu in it. It's really good.If you are using regular ponzu sauce, you may want to add a little sugar. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ponzu shokunin nao

I love sesame dressings! I used golden sesame seeds but feel free to use white or black ones if you prefer.You can whip this up really quickly in the microwave and the food will still retain its nutrients. I used a microwave set at 700 W. For 3 servings. Recipe by Kanon mama ('-'*)

It's such a perfectly gorgeous Spring day out there that sharing something light, healthful and refreshing seems fitting.

My twist on the ubiquitous, mildly mysterious, always delicious Japanese restaurant orange salad dressing. :)

A summery salad with a sweet, spicy, and tangy dressing and all the texture. Don't let the amount of ingredients or prep put you off, this one is definitely worth a try!

Had lime, had cilantro wanted to make a nice dressing for a tomato salad, turned out wonderful so made it again for a macaroni salad...and that turned out wonderful too!

My husband brought home a lot of mizuna greens from his parents' house, so I wanted to eat them up while they were still fresh.I used umeboshi that were soft and a little sweet.If you crush the sesame seeds between your fingertips while mixing them into the sauce, it brings out the aroma. For 2 servings. Recipe by *Anna*

A flavorful take on a classic Vietnamese lunch: Chicken Cabbage Salad and Congee. This easy recipe is the one of the best ways to use a whole chicken, and the combination between hot congee and cold salad is just so satisfying!

This is a kid favorite salad in our house as well as a crowd pleaser for picnics, BBQs, and potlucks for the tasty mashup of fruit, veg, and sweet savory tangy dressing.I'm making it for Thanksgiving this year to make sure my teenaged son gets plenty of veg with that side of bacon he asked for . ;)Here in California, we get strawberries pretty much year round, though they tend to be better in Spring. If it's not strawberry season where you live, a mildly tart apple or firm pear cut into small chunks are both great substitutes.

An easy dressing made using everyday ingredients. See where I used it on a tomato salad.No hints in particular. Just be sure to chop the umeboshi well to turn it into a paste. Leftover dressing can be stored in the jar you used to make it in. Use up within a week or before the oil turns rancid. For a quantity that is easy to make. Recipe by Mawaru7

I came up with this menu to enter into a contest, with a particular emphasis on food that helps to make skin beautiful.Grind up the sesame seeds after toasting them for the best flavor. By grinding the seeds well, you increase their nutrition value, since they become easier to digest! You can also use this dressing for goma-ae (vegetables etc. with sesame sauce) dishes! For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by iano

I made this recipe using a photo in an American magazine as reference. Strawberry dressing is sold in cans, but every brand I've tried has too much balsamic vinegar for my taste, killing the flavor of the strawberries. So I made a dressing with the proportions I like. It's an easy yet really delicious dressing that I'm very proud of.Choose a flat pasta-type like linguine or fettuccine for the noodle basket. Drain the boiled pasta very well, and then stick onto the surface of a bowl. Don't rinse the pasta or it will not stick. Don't forget to brush the surface of the bowl with oil. If you want the dressing to be richer, add olive oil. I recommend young baby spinach leaves. For 2 servings. Recipe by Yukirinrin

I made this since it has gotten slightly warmer, and I wanted to eat something refreshing. More like, I just used what was left in the fridge ( _ ; . It was Friday night and I was tired, and this was all I had for dinner, so I made it filling by adding rice . My boyfriend thought it was chirashi sushi and ate it happily I thought it wouldn't be enough, but I had croquettes too (frozen), so maybe that is why he didn't complain! For 2 servings. Recipe by ochikeron

Mashed tofu dishes with sesame miso sauce that are made thoroughly and patiently taste great of course, but easily made ones are delicious too If you have sesame sauce granules on hand, the flavor can be quickly arranged and the slightly difficult to make mashed tofu with sesame miso sauce dish can be made easily!You can drain the water from the tofu by boiling or heating in the microwave, but those methods also cook off the flavor, so when making this mashed tofu with sesame miso sauce, take the time to drain the water. But if you drain too much of the water, it will become dry and crumbly, so only drain it moderately! Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

Japanese seaweed salad with sesame and miso dressing is a quick and very refreshing recipe which is perfect to eat during the hot summer weather. I will share with you two different ways to prepare this salad. One with Japanese mustard greens (mizuna); and one with cucumber, red leaf lettuce and tomato.35 years ago in Japan, I was introduced to the Japanese seaweed salad(Kaisou Sarada in Japanese) and fell in love with this dish. An authentic Japanese seaweed salad is not the same as those you get in the Japanese restaurant in the State. If you’ve ever had it, it actually tastes so much better.Video instruction: youtu.be/6XfgAMoe_Gs

I wanted to use the bulbs of the green onions in something. In the end I tried making an imitation of a dish that I had seen in a Korean supermarket and came up with this simple kimchi.The bulbs of the green onions that I used are far bigger than those you usually find in a supermarket, they were about the size of mini-onions. If you're using small green onions, then you just need to boil them for 2-3 minutes. I used the Momoya brand kimchi sauce. Recipe by Kourin

I wanted to enjoy the taste of the salad served at Jojoen restaurants, using familiar ingredients.I reduced the amount of oil in this dressing and added vinegar instead to make it healthy.-The salad dressing served at Jojoen restaurants do not contain vinegar.Drain your vegetables well. The key is the Ajinomoto seasoning powder. Recipe by 916banana

My friend was eating okra dipped in mayonnaise so I tried making a more refined version.I use extremely salty homemade umeboshi.Adjust the taste according to your preference. Recipe by *Yuki*
