Miso Dressing


We've had it. We know it is simply delicious. Miso dressing is a delightful way to dress up a salad with salmon, chicken, and steak. Shown above drizzled over Spring Mix greens in a salmon rice bowl, this miso dressing is a cinch to make. 

INGREDIENTS
two tablespoons of rice vinegar
two tablespoons of vegetable oil
one tablespoon of red miso
one teaspoon of sesame oil
one teaspoon of tomato paste
one teaspoon of grated ginger
one teaspoon of brown sugar

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and now you have delicious miso dressing. The dressing keeps well bottled in a refrigerator.

Japanese-Style Curry, Inspired by Chef Morimoto

Image
There it was. On page 161 of Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking by Chef Morimoto . A list of ingredients for Karei Raisu, a Japanese-style curry rice, included  Vermont Curry . The Welcome to Vermont section on the following page confirmed Chef Morimoto's recommendation to use the boxed curry cubes.  I am familiar with boxed curry cubes. My Mom sometimes made mayonnaise at home. We rarely ate store-bought kimchi because she made them at home. Japanese-style curry? We always ate curry that came out of boxes. Meat and vegetables were added, but the sauce was never made from scratch.  Asian Grocery Stores such as H Mart have curry aisles with many selections, which are overwhelming for even this lifetime boxed curry eater. While I flipped through Chef Morimoto's Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking , I craved Japanese-style curry. It had been years since I had made it and didn't have my go-to boxed curry brand, so I gleefully grabbed a box of Vermont Curry to ma

Style LookBook: October 2024

Autumn is upon us! I appreciate the cool breezes and gentle sunlight after summer's blazing heat. Some folks become pumpkin-obsessed, but I think of wine in the autumn months. Perhaps, it is because grape harvesting for winemakers in California is done from August to November. Another reason may be because the weather is cool enough to enjoy red wine while I tend to stick to white wine during the heat-intense months.  So! Last month, I took a day trip to Santa Barbara with a friend for wine tasting in its Funk Zone. We took Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner for our trip, which gave us time to chat and relax without the hassle of driving with serene views of the farmlands and ocean. We stopped by Melville Winery's lovely tasting room, shown above, where I picked up a delightful bottle of 2023 Grenache Estate Rosé. With the change of season and very welcomed cool temperature, I decided to switch the layout of this month's Style LookBook. Rather than showing the curated pieces in

Style LookBook: August 2024

I cannot believe August is already here. I was at The Shay Culver's rooftop pool yesterday and had to bundle up with towels while napping after sipping on their Banana Mai Tai because it felt cold as the afternoon turned windy. That was one strong and delicious cocktail, which is difficult to achieve.  Banana Mai Tai from The Shay Culver Fret not if you want more heat! The temperature is expected to climb high over the weekend and remain hot, at least in Los Angeles. With that in mind, I'm keeping this LookBook casually seductive with casual icon denim.

Can there be such a thing as humanity in war?

Image
On February 24, 2022, the world rose in uproar when Russia invaded Ukraine. The international community came together to provide support and aid... Efforts to raise funds and supplies for Ukraine on Social Media were prominent for weeks and months. While such efforts seem to have faded with time, the war hasn't. By early this year, the war displaced about 16 million Ukrainians, 8 million internally and 8 million having fled the country. Photo by Bekky Bekks on Unsplash United Nations reports that about 10,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed from the day Russia invaded the country to September 2023. And that number is growing every day. My intention was not to write about Ukraine, but the question that has occupied me since Israel began what seems to be merciless attacks on Gaza. Is there such a thing as humanity in war?  As days became weeks, months and now over a year, the world somehow lost interest in Ukraine and its suffering... Humanity seems to have a short attention sp
