Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 Japanese leek; 1/2 tsp Coarse salt; 2 tbsp Sesame oil; 1 slice Chicken ham

cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp

This is a namul sauce that I make whenever I have a lot of Japanese leeks. I started making it to mix with steamed chicken and chicken ham, or to sprinkle on top of them, but you can use it in many different dishes.

The Japanese leeks become wilted after letting them rest for a while, and they make the sauce soft and thick. Recipe by Mimato

1Japanese leek
1/2 tspCoarse salt
2 tbspSesame oil
1 sliceChicken ham

Cooking Instructions

1

Cut the whole Japanese leek diagonally into thin slices.
2

Transfer into a container, and mix with salt and sesame oil. Leave it for about 0.5~1 hour. (I used 2 leeks in the picture.)
3

When it's wilted, it's done. You can keep it in the fridge for 1~2 days.
4

It's delicious to serve on top of chicken ham. (Refer to "" for the chicken ham.) Serving on a single plate makes it look like a cafe-style dish.
5

Tear the chicken ham (or steamed chicken), and mix with shichimi spice and white sesame seeds. It's a great way to prepare an easy drinking appetizer.
6

It's delicious as a garnish on natto and tofu, mixed in pasta, or sprinkled on ramen. It's an all-purpose topping.

All-purpose Green Leek and Miso Sauce All-purpose Green Leek and Miso Sauce

I always thought it was a waste to throw away the green part of a leek, so I always make it into this leek-miso paste. It keeps in the refrigerator for about 10 days, and can be frozen too.The keys are to stir-fry with sesame oil and to add bonito flakes. I used pre-grated ginger and ra-yu spicy chili oil, but if you don't have them you can use finely chopped garlic and doubangjiang or finely chopped red chili pepper; stir-fry in the sesame oil, then add the leek later. It's easy and delicious! Recipe by Kouchan mama

All-Purpose Scallion Sauce All-Purpose Scallion Sauce

This really is a sauce that goes well with anything. I use it with cold tofu, boiled pork or chicken, fish meuniere, karaage, salad, boiled tofu, and shabu shabu.You can increase the amount of Japanese leek and ginger if you want It also tastes good if you add some minced garlic. If you don't have any doubanjiang, you can use ra-yu instead! Since this contains leek, it doesn't keep for very long (2-3 days). So it's probably best if you make it when you need it.
