Japanese Assorted Sashimi with Soy Dip Recipe

Serves/Makes: 4

Ingredients:

• 8 fresh medium shrimp
• 1/4 pound freshly shucked scallops
• 5 ounces fresh tuna fillet
• 5 ounces fresh salmon fillet
• 5 ounces fresh mackerel or snapper fillet
• 1/2 teaspoon oil
• 8 ounces daikon radish (about 4 inches), grated into long thin shreds
• 4 shiso leaves
• 4 teaspoons wasabi paste
• Sashimi Soy Dip (see recipe below), to serve

How to cook:

• Prepare the Sashimi Soy Dip and set aside.
• Peel and clean the shrimp, but leave the head and tail on for a more authentic appearance.
• Clean and dry the scallops. Heat the oil in a pan until moderately hot and sear the scallops for 30 seconds on each side. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Slice the tuna and salmon fillets on the diagonal into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 1 1/2 inches long.
• The mackerel or snapper can either be sliced paper-thin or cut into decorative shapes.
• Arrange the shrimp, scallops and cut fish on a serving platter.
• Garnish with the daikon, shisa leaves and wasabi paste.
• Serve the Assorted Sashimi with small bowls of Sashimi Soy Dip.

Sashimi Soy Dip Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons sake
• 1/2 cup Japanese soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce or mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 1/2 cup dried bonito flakes
• 1 small strip dried kelp (konbu), wiped with a damp cloth (optional)

Sashimi Soy Dip Preparation:

• To make the Sashimi Soy Dip, place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, allow to cool, strain and discard solids.

Note:

The Sashimi Soy Dip can be stored for up to a year if kept refrigerated in an airtight jar.

Comments:

Sashimi is a Japanese delicacy primarily consisting of very fresh raw seafood, sliced into thin pieces and served with only a dipping sauce (soy sauce with wasabi paste and thinly-sliced ginger root or ponzu), and a simple garnish such as shiso and shredded daikon radish.
