ASIAN SALAD

Steps:

• Cut 1/2 English cucumber, 1/2 small jicama, 1 large carrot and 1 celery stalk into matchsticks. Drain and rinse a 15-ounce can baby corn; quarter the corn lengthwise. Toss the vegetables with dressing: Mix 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon each sesame seeds and grated ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon each grated garlic and minced jalapeno, and salt to taste.

ASIAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sesame seeds, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and a generous pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk in 2 tablespoons water and a couple turns of freshly ground black pepper until blended.

HOT AND SWEET SESAME DRESSING

Steps:

• Stir sugar and apple cider vinegar together in a small saucepan; cook over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved, scraping sides of the pan to include all sugar granules, 3 to 5 minutes; remove from heat and let cool 2 to 3 minutes.
• Combine vinegar mixture, olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a food processor; blend until the garlic and red pepper flakes are tiny, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.

SPICY SESAME DRESSING

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, or in a blender, finely chop the garlic and ginger.
• Add the remaining ingredients in the order listed and process to blend. The dressing should be the consistency of heavy cream. If it is too thin, add up to 2 tablespoons additional sesame paste.
• Refrigerated, in a covered container, the dressing will keep for up to a week.

EASY SESAME DRESSING

CHICKEN SALAD WITH LEMON-SESAME DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-low. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until opaque and just cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes. (You're not looking to brown the meat here, which would risk drying it out.) Remove from heat to cool.
• In a large bowl, stir together the miso, lemon zest and juice, ginger and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil.
• When the chicken is no longer hot (warm or cool both work), use a slotted spoon to add it to the bowl with the dressing, leaving any chicken juices behind. Stir to combine. Add the sliced celery, celery leaves, basil and sesame seeds; stir to combine. Taste, and if it needs more spice, add black pepper; if it's bland, add salt; if it's dry, add sesame oil. Eat warm or at room temperature. (Leftovers will keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)

SPICY NOODLES WITH SESAME DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring six quarts water to boil. Add the peanut oil and cook the noodles for three to four minutes, or until al dente. Drain and refresh under running cold water.
• Place the noodles in a large serving bowl and add one tablespoon sesame oil. Toss to prevent them from sticking together and set them aside.
• Mix together the remaining ingredients until you have a smooth sauce. If necessary, thin with a little olive oil. Correct seasoning and pour the dressing over the noodles. Toss thoroughly and serve at room temperature.

SESAME CITRUS DRESSING

Steps:

• Pour orange juice into a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
