My wife finally wrote down the recipe for the dressing/dipping sauce for the grilled avocados.
1/2 cup of mayo (Japanese -Kewpi- is the best.)
1.5 tablespoon of Miso. Avoid using heavy dark type.
1 teaspoon of grated garlic.
2 tablespoons of olive oil or grape seed oil.
pinch of freshly ground pepper.
Mix all together with a whisk or spoon. Apply liberally to avocados after grilling. I also like it very much in fried egg and eggplant pita bread sandwiches. Just fry up what ever fresh veggies you have and put them in pita with a fried egg.
How unusual and what an interesting profile! so have you learned any Arabic or Japanese?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I've lived in Japan 20yrs so I speak Japanese pretty well. I studied Arabic at university, Irbid and Cairo (MSA), but have become very poor at it from lack of exposure. I still have great affection for the culture of the region-especially food.
ReplyDeleteLoved the recipe! I came over to the blog after seeing you had RT my comment about misconceptions in Qatar. What a nice surprise, I LOVE Japanese food. I also have a blog, mainly about expat life, 4 kids, 20 suitcases and a beagle. Kirsty (Shamozal)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the blog. I hope you also clicked on "Gourmet Japan". It's mostly photos, but that's all that is really necessary.
