Shaved Zucchini with Miso Vinaigrette Recipe

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons black or white sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 Thai chile, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 6 firm medium zucchini
  • 1 sheet nori, julienned (see Note)
  1. If using white sesame seeds, in a small skillet, toast them over moderate heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, scallions, rice vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and chile. Whisk in the olive oil and stir in the cilantro; season with salt and pepper.
  3. Using a mandoline, cut the zucchini lengthwise into paper-thin slices. In a very large bowl, toss the zucchini with the dressing. Transfer to a platter. Scatter the nori and toasted sesame seeds on top and serve right away.
