Description

This vibrant dressing combines the deep, savory notes of dashi stock with the nutty richness of tart sesame oil to create a versatile condiment. It is designed to coat blanched beans or grains, adding a layer of complex flavor that transforms simple ingredients into a satisfying dish. The balance of saltiness from the stock and the aromatic punch of sesame makes it an excellent choice for vegan meals. It works beautifully as a topping for bean salads, grain bowls, or as a marinade for tofu. Quick to whip together, this dressing brings an international flair to your kitchen table with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil and blanch the beans for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender.
  2. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water or run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the dashi stock and tart sesame dressing ingredients until well combined.
  4. Drain the blanched beans thoroughly and divide them evenly among four serving bowls.
  5. Spoon the prepared sesame dressing over the beans in each bowl and garnish as desired before serving.
