1174. WARM MISO, MAPLE and BACON DRESSING with ASIAN SALAD GREENS

serves 1 as a lunch or dinner, 2 as a side


1 tablespoon shiro (white) miso
2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar (or any other rice vinegar)
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon maple syrup
a pinch of cayenne pepper
1 slice of thick cut smoked bacon
flavorful salad greens (2-3 cups)

Wash and dry the salad greens. In a small bowl, mix together the miso, vinegar, mirin, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Set aside. Chop the bacon into 1/2 inch lardons (I like to use kitchen shears). Cook the lardons in a small frying pan until crispy. Remove the lardons leaving the bacon grease behind. Add the miso mixture to the bacon grease and cook until thickened slightly (less than a minute). Drizzle the dressing over the greens and toss to coat. Top with the lardons and eat.
