Answer 4

Here's a version of Miso Carrot Sauce With Ginger :

Ingredients

2 tablespoons peanut oil or grapeseed oil or corn oil

1/4 cup rice vinegar

3 tablespoons white miso

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into big pieces

1 inch gingerroot, peeled and cut into coins

1-2 teaspoon sugar (optional) or sugar substitute, to taste (optional)

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1) Put all ingredients except salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse a few times to mince carrots.

2) If using a blender, turn on briefly and turn off and repeat a few times. Then let machine run for a minute or so until mixture is chunky-smooth.

3) Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.

4)Serve immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate for up to several days.

Now if you want something simple but close to the taste, you can try making a  Thousand Island Dressing with sesame oil. - Mayonaise, milk or cream, sweetener (sugar or Splenda), catsup (Del Monte is better), sweet relish (option), onion powder, and sesame oil (if it's a blend you use more, or just add sparingly and taste it till you like the taste.)

Answer 5

I think you're referring to the spicy sauce used in maki style sushi like Spicy salmon.  It's very simple...a mixture of japanese Mayonnaise (use regular if you can't find it at an asian market or gourmet store) and sriracha chili sauce...also found in asian markets. You mix it to taste depending on how hot you like it.

Answer 6

is this it?

Martha Stewart's Japanese Salad Dressing

3/4 c Red miso

3 tb Sugar

3 tb Mirin wine

2 tb Hot water

2 ts Light soy sauce

1/4 ts Sesame oil

1 tb Toasted sesame seeds

1/2 Head iceberg lettuce; torn

1 md Carrot; thinly sliced

Instructions:

MAKES 1 CUP

In a small bowl, combine miso and sugar. Add mirin, water, soy sauce,

sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Stir until well blended. Serve over lettuce

and carrot slices. Toss to combine.

NOTES : Rice-wine vinegar, sesame oil, and miso are important ingredients

in many aspects of Japanese cuisine, including salad dressings. After much

experimentation, Martha Stewart developed this creamy salad dressing, which

gets its distinctive sweet flavor from red miso, a medium-bodied soybean

paste. The pungent miso also adds vitamins, protein, and nutrients to this

healthy, low-fat dressing, which contains just a 1/4 teaspoon of sesame

oil. Serve drizzled on top of a simple salad of iceberg lettuce and shaved

carrots.
