Yuzu Salad Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• For the batter: Combine the beer, vodka and soda water in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the flour, paprika and baking soda. The batter should be fairly thick but also easy to stir. If a little loose, whisk in a little more flour. If too thick, add a splash of soda water. Do not overmix. Set aside on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the yuzu dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and yuzu juice. Whisk in the mustard, paprika and lemon zest and set aside.
• For the shrimp: Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil to 320 degrees F, using a deep-frying thermometer to monitor the temperature. Put a wire rack into a rimmed baking sheet.
• Arrange the Bibb lettuce in an overlapping circle in a large shallow serving bowl or platter.
• Once the oil reaches 320 degrees F, add the lemon slices and fry until crispy and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the rack over the baking sheet with a slotted spoon. Fry the basil (take care as it can splatter when it hits the oil) until crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the same rack. Season with salt.
• Raise the oil temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Add the shrimp to the batter to coat. Transfer the shrimp to the oil in batches with a slotted spoon, holding the spoon just over the oil and carefully dropping them in one by one to prevent clumping and splashing. Fry each batch until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer them to the rack; raise the oil temperature back to 350 degrees F between batches.
• Drizzle the shrimp with some of the yuzu sauce and immediately spoon the shrimp into the center of the bowl of lettuce. Sprinkle with the fried lemon and basil leaves. Top with the remaining yuzu dressing to taste.

Steps:

• Whisk grapeseed oil, soy sauce, yuzu juice, and garlic in a medium bowl. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in an extra-large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt, and sauté until wilted and just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add sake; stir to coat, then transfer to a large bowl. Add 5 tablespoons dressing; toss to coat. Season with salt.
• Divide greens among plates. Divide mushrooms among plates, mounding slightly in center atop greens. Drizzle remaining dressing over greens and mushrooms. Garnish with chives and serve.
