I do these as nihaizu with vinegar, shoyu, dashi, ground sesame, and with either miso or tofu (though I will do miso on tofu). You can also do sambaizu by adding sugar or mirin.

Asparagus, ramps, mushrooms. Rarely fish.

edit:

Oh, yes. Garlic chives and Chinese long beans.

It has been 3 years since anyone added to this thread! :biggrin:

I made a really nice aemono with cucumbers and daikon with a peanut-rayu (chile oil) dressing. From the May 2006 3 pun Cooking magazine.

recipe  for shirae

sesame-tofu dressed vegetables:

I made a shirae the other night. I had picked up a pack of carrot tops and was unsure what to actually do with them so I added them to a shirae with blanched julienne carrot. It was really good and everyone really liked it.

I have a question about goma-ae, and this seems like as good a place as any to put it! I'm sure this comes up a lot, but: I don't have a suribachi, and my mortar and pestle is very small, since I bought it only for small quantities of spices. What's the best way for me to make goma-ae? Food processor? Coffee grinder? Thanks!

I have a question: Which of your food processor and coffer grinder resembles my Milser more?

I do have a suribachi and a surikogi, but I rarely use them to grind sesame seeds because that is tiresome and time-consuming.
