random food update #452390

i need to try and make more thematically-based food entries. lately it seems it’s just a smattering of random dishes i’ve been making, without any attention paid to type of cuisine, preparation, or ingredient. here’s another set:

grilled eggplant and mozzarella sandwiches

zucchini oven chips

mustard cheddar crackers

polynesian turkey-crab spring rolls with nuoc cham dipping sauce

asian coleslaw with miso-ginger dressing

here’s the recipe for the coleslaw:

1/3 cup rice vinegar
3 T white (shiro) miso
1 T mayonnaise
1 T lemon juice
1 t finely grated ginger
pinch of sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 T sesame oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small red cabbage, shredded
3 carrots, shredded
1 bunch radishes, shredded
3 green onions, julienned

1. in a food processor, combine the rice vinegar, miso, mayonnaise, lemon juice, ginger and sugar and process until completely smooth. with the machine on, add the vegetable and sesame oils in a slow and steady stream. season the dressing salt and pepper.

2. add the cabbage, carrots, radishes and green onions to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly with the dressing. serve chilled or at room temperature.
