The way you did it was the old fashioned way. I love that. 💘 I grew up in Brooklyn, NYC and our block was literally the United Nations. We took turns in everyone's house and man... was I so blessed. Peasants around the World used what they had. People like Anthony Bourdain traveled and learned their secrets, took it to expensive restaurants. Home cooking has always been better, it just takes time and labor. That's what you pay for in those fancy restaurants. You don't need blenders and all that fancy stuff at home. Keep it simple.

I saw this video and immediately subscribed to your channel. I am from Saudi Arabia and I absolutely love Japanese food. I really appreciate the simplicity of the recipes and substitutions. Thank you for introducing me to Japanese home cooking.
I just made dressing #2 with my homemade Tahini. Oh man, it was so delicious I ate a whole head of lettuce with it. I'm hooked now. So simple to make too. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Subscribed!
@@cdsand45s It will-- it's so good with crunchy broccoli, choi sum, pak choy, chicken/tofu! YUM! And make a GIANT salad bowl with cous cous, feta, avocado, egg, tofu and all the other stuff you like then mix it in. Soooo good. As a cheat, find the Kewpie brand's 'Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing'. It's the OG and worth every penny-- the cheaper versions from other manufacturers don't taste right. Also, it's the one dressing that makes me eat natto and actually enjoy it.
@@Spangletiger I make my own tahini all the time and I love it. I roast the seeds first and add a bit of salt. I also add about one tablespoon of (sesame) oil to the food processor as I am making it. It is considerably thicker than the commercial product, but it suits me perfectly. It has more the consistency of homemade peanut butter. It makes me feel very accomplished to eat tahini I have made myself.
Thank you Chef Taiji... I learnt a new way of making the Onion dressing today... Since i am Vegan, i make my own dressing always and prefer to make more Asian dishes and Washoku is one of my favourites after having lived in Japan for 22 years... Domo Arigatou gozaimasu 💝🙏
I'm very pleased to see these dressing recipes because I love eating salads and lots of different fresh vegetable. Thank you so much for sharing. Dressings used to be my hang up but I feel confident now!
It's the best! When making a variety of dressings for parties or certain dishes it's so helpful to have something like this on offer. Super versatile and a nice change to the soy sauce-forward or Korean kinds of dressings . It's a great channel, I agree.
Thank you so much for sharing. Looks GREAT. lovely video quick no fuss no boring details on steaming just the clap of the hands and voila. Will definitely attempt all three. 💕🌷
Thanks for sharing this! I used to love store bought Japanese sesame dressing but always thought they were too sweet, now I can make this exactly to my liking!
Sesame Dressing for the win! YUM! I have it on everything, especially great on natto, brocolli, choi sum and other greens (not to mention cous cous-based salad bowls with feta, tofu and avocado etc). For everybody who craves it but lacks the time or patience, cheat by buying Kewpie's Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing. Accept no substitures, this is the OG and worth every penny. I love this channel. Thanks for starting it and continuing it with your discipline and creativity. I love Japan and miss it so much. Here's hoping we can all travel normally in 2023. Suitcases going missing due to issues within the aviation sector is a great concern so I'll be patient until things equalise. 👍
New subscriber here in Canada...I always love Japanese food from the time I worked as a nanny for a Japanese family way back in 1985..love eating salads and this dressing will be my favourite from now on...I always look in you tube but never found one that I like..will be checking your side dishes recipes...
I was looking for more alternatives on how to cook vegetables. I am a vegetable lover but don't have much time to cook and you just gave me some simple, fast, great ideas and they look so delicious. Have most the ingredients on hand except for the bonito flakes in the previous video. Thanks for sharing...Lorena.😊😊😊👏👏👏 New subscriber here!
I appreciate that you are substituting various ingredients that may be hard to obtain outside of Japan. This makes it much easier for someone like me that lives in the rurals of Oz. I subscribed and look forward to more culinary gems. Thank you.
thats exactly why I started this channel!!! since there are lots of japanese cooking videos, but most of the time I think to myself, "oh only I had that ingredients..." lol
I was interested in the seasame sauce at first but I didn't have the Tahini so I went for the Ponzu sauce since it's rare in the UK and it was so good! Makes me miss being in Japan!
Just discovered your channel, so happy to have some of these recipes. I have not been able to travel to Japan in the last three years and I have been craving the simple homemade food! Thank you
I've learned a lot watching this video. These 3 dressings are awesome, I must try to make them. The sesame and onion dressings sound really good. I've never had them before but ofcourse I use sesame seeds and oil in my cooking. Thanks for the recipe.
Could you do a food demo on lemon cilantro sauce? I would use it for chicken. Your salad dressings sound amazing. I will be making 2 that sounded good to me. Thankyou so much.
hi nice sauces great video. I've been looking for dressings and this is perfect , however i am not a vegetarian either so some times in my salad i would put meat like small chonks of braised pork belly ,grill fish ,chicken or beef
Hello! I just stumbled across this video and I loved it! I subscribed. I can't wait to make salad dressing! I've been searching for a good recipe for Japanese ginger salad dressing, but can't find one. Can you please do a video for that, or send me a recipe? Thank you so much for sharing your recipes!
oh, you can't use mirin as a muslim?! why not? due to the alcohol content? then use 1 tsp of sugar for each 1 tbsp of mirin as substitute. or you can do the process of so called "Nikiri" which is boiling out the alcohol, as in this video: ua-cam.com/video/5UiE4An_HZ8/v-deo.html (at 07:08)
The amount of alcohol in mirin is so little that it absolutely won't have any effect on you. Also, any reputable god is too busy to care what people eat and drink, because they have a universe-creating business to attend to.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 based on the lecture I got it is still haram, so yeah any amount of alcohol we muslims cannot consume, I don’t wanna commit sin if I already know it’s forbidden 😂 god is never too busy to deal with anything I assure you that
Very nice. I had a salad dressings in Japanese restaurants, so good. It was 20 yrs ago. I have been looking for the recipe forever, never founding it. Maybe you know . One is a carrot beet tofu dressing - quite tangy . If you do, it be great if you made a video. Thx a lot
Thank you so much for these vegan recipes! There used to be a brilliant Japanese grocery store in Soho (London), where I'd shop and I was trying to describe tahini to one of the staff because there didn't seem to ba a Japanese equivalent in the store, even though there were toasted sesame seeds and sesame oil. I wondered if a similar paste might be used in Japanese dishes. The Ponzo sauce is an interesting combination (I'm just a lemon away from trying that one out!). We can get bottled yuzu juice here but I doubt that we have the climate to grow the fruit itself. Also, I'm in awe of your suribachi-surikogi skills! I have a larger set and I still manage to leave a halo of debris on the table by the time I've finished grinding stuff! 🤦🏻♀️
Just found you.. 4:00 a.m. in the morning... Love those dressings.. I will definitely be trying them.. hope they will be just as good with low sodium soy sauce!? Just found you.. it's 4:00 a.m. love what you did here and I will be trying them! It was really wrong here
The way you did it was the old fashioned way.
I love that. 💘

Home cooking has always been better, it just takes time and labor.
That's what you pay for in those fancy restaurants.
You don't need blenders and all that fancy stuff at home.
Keep it simple.

Thank you so much for these recipes. And thanks for not putting us through the cutting of vegetables. Short and sweet and to the point!
I am Vegan..and love japanese food..thank you for sharing such a simple an delicious dressing..watching you from Bali...☺☺
Any reason for the silly multiple fullstops between words? "I am vegan* and love Japanese* food" is one full consistent sentence.

Yummy veggie salad. Thanks for sharing your recipes.😍😋
As always, thoughtful and brilliant! Thank You!
Hi Taiji. If you want to try a really delicious addition to your Sesame dressing, try adding 1-2 teaspoons of Sumac flakes. Enjoy!
oh, cool! I will have to find sumac then!!
thanx!!
You are making me hungry. I am going to make your dressing.
Thank you
I can't wait to do this, Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii
I'll have these great vegan salads as an entrée to a nice savoury chicken or steak dinner.

Hi Taiji, I was looking after the onion dressing, thank you so much for the recipes, great! Oh by the way, I am subscribing your channel 👍👍

You can get any of the ingredients in the supermarket or Asian markets.
thats exactly why I started this channel!!!

yes! thats how I try to make my recipes!!
I was interested in the seasame sauce at first but I didn't have the Tahini so I went for the Ponzu sauce since it's rare in the UK and it was so good! Makes me miss being in Japan!
Made my first Ponzu salad dressing and salad tonight. Yum! So good! Will be trying the other ones soon!
Very good I love your salads and the sauce
Thank you it's beautiful Taiji San
