AKA Japanese salad dressing. I used to buy bottles of this stuff ready-made before I realised just how easy it is to knock up at home (except for the bit where you have to grate the raw onion – wearing shades helps).  Just the thing for when you definitely don’t want to turn the cooker on.

serves 4

ingredients

(optional) dried seaweed salad mix, which you can buy online here

1/4 small onion, finely grated including juice

2  tbsp. olive oil

1 tsp. sesame oil

1 tbsp. grated ginger

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp. rice vinegar

2 tsp. sugar

2 tbsp. roasted white sesame seed, lightly pulverised in a pestle and mortar

grated carrot, radish, batons of cucumber, tomato, etc.

method

soak the seaweed salad if using in cold water

combine the dressing ingredients.

Drain the seaweed, mix together all salad ingredients and pour over the dressing
