When Didi gave me a bottle of her ume dressing, she warned me that it might be a bit sour. It wasn't at all. It was perfect . . . not too sour nor too vinegary (I don't like vinegary).
Here's her recipe. Isn't she the greatest for sharing!! Love you Didi!!! Mwa, mwa, mwa!
2 TB ume pulp, from 6 large umeboshi*, mashed well
¼ c. rice vinegar
2 TB mirin
2 TB water*
4 tsp sugar
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 c. salad oil
* After removing pulp from umeboshi, place seeds in water and rub any remaining pulp off seeds. Place all ingredients in a dressing bottle and shake shake shake. Optional to place all ingredients in a food processor and puree. Makes approximately 1 cup.
Had to share my attempt at trying to get a good shot of the bottle indoors. Neva work.

Hi Jalna,
It's so nice that your lovely sister DiDi shares her wonderful recipes. I thought about maybe having you post the recipe of the AHI BOMBE I made for Super Bowl and then I realized that I am not that nice. Just need to hold on to that recipe a little bit longer. LOL! HEE HEE!! But any dessert recipe YES1
Au revoir from France, Love ya Bran
Bran!!! Sharing the Ahi Bombe recipe???!!! I almost fainted! We can wait.
Bran you are freakin hilarious!!!
The salad looks sooo yummy...shrimp too!! cool way to photograph the dressing too! I'm no cook so gotta find out what is umeboshi..
Shun Wah, I think salads are my favorite lunchtime food. Hard to explain what an ume is. It's Japanese . . . maybe preserved plum?
I love UME... Your salad looked so good...I wish I could have a bite, but without the shrimp hehe ^_^
Are you allergic to shrimp, Mmiissee?
Do they make ume without MSG or phenylalanine?
Sorry Anon, I don't know.
