Recipe - Karashisumiso Octopus からし酢みそ



Karashisumiso is a great dressing to have on hand in the kitchen. It is based on sweet white miso made from rice that is thinned out with rice wine vinegar and Japanese karashi mustard. It is particularly great in the summertime as it is refreshing on the palate. In this dish the dressing is tossed with tender boiled octopus, thinly sliced Japanese cucumbers, and wakame.

When purchasing the miso look for either Saikyo miso or komemiso (rice miso). It will be very light in color and on the palate slightly sweet.

2 Tbsp. sweet white miso
1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 tsp. sugar
karashi mustard (to taste)

Mix the miso, vinegar, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add karashi mustard to taste. Toss with octopus, cucumbers, and wakame.
