This Miso Sesame Dressing Is Irresistible

With over 100,000 page views and counting, this six ingredient miso dressing has earned its place as a must-try Foxes Love Lemons recipe. The best part? It’s a cinch to make and uses ingredients you might already have in your pantry.

Use this umami-packed flavor booster of a condiment to elevate a simple bowl of mixed greens, or spoon it over roasted vegetables, a grain bowl, or a piece of fish or chicken.

Honestly, it’s just never a bad idea to have a jar of this in your fridge. I make a triple or quadruple batch whenever I make it, because I know every drop of it will go to good use, and quickly.

Be prepared for this miso salad dressing to steal the show when you make it.

Heads up! The dressing recipe below does NOT include ginger, but if you’re a ginger lover, you might like the ginger-added version even more:

Why You Will Love This Miso Dressing Recipe

  • No blender, food processor, or any other fancy equipment needed. Just a bowl and a whisk!
  • You don’t really even need to get out your measuring spoons, honestly – just eyeball everything and it will turn out great.

This Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe is bursting with flavor

One of the most versatile ingredients at your grocery store is a bag of broccoli slaw. Don’t sleep on it or think of it only for cold salads.

If you’re new to broccoli slaw, let’s start your relationship off with a big party with this Egg Roll Bowl! It uses both traditional coleslaw mix and broccoli slaw, but you can use all one or the other if you prefer.

Why you will love this Recipe for Egg Roll in a Bowl

  • With simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, this comes together easily on a busy weeknight.
  • The familiar flavors and customizable ingredients are sure to be a hit with the whole family.

This Kimchi Fried Rice recipe uses simple tricks, like drying out cooked rice, and allowing it to rest after crisping, that make a big difference in the finished product of this convenient dish.

Two blue bowls filled with vegetarian kimchi fried rice, topped with fried eggs and sliced nori.

What is Kimchi Fried Rice?

First, let’s talk about kimchi itself. Kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented dish made of vegetables, often napa cabbage and radish. It’s usually sour, kind of spicy, pungent and super flavorful. It is eaten as a side dish alongside Korean food, or can be used as an ingredient for other dishes, like this one.

Kimchi fried rice is made with cooked rice, kimchi, sometimes other vegetables and occasionally a protein.

If you have a jar of kimchi and some cooked rice, you almost have kimchi fried rice. In a few simple steps, you’ll be enjoying this delicious and convenient one dish entree or side dish.

Why you’ll love this Simple Kimchi Fried Rice Recipe

  • Quick, easy and bursting with flavor.
  • A great way to use up leftover rice!
  • The fried rice itself is completely vegan, but can be topped with an egg for extra protein for non-vegans, if desired.

Best Asian Salad Dressing

Is it just me, or is a great Asian style salad dressing just so craveable? Nothing gets me to eat a huge bowl of Asian salad with chicken or roasted vegetables like a good drizzle of Asian dressing.

  • There’s so many things you can do with it, beyond just salad. More on this below!

The Wonton Soup to satisfy your cravings

If you think wonton soup is a combination of mushy wontons and flavorless broth, this soup will change your mind.

This post will walk you through how to make the shrimp filling and a super flavorful broth. It will also show you, step-by-step, how easy folding soup wontons actually is.

This easy Ground Beef Stir Fry recipe is perfect for a weeknight!

With grocery prices going up and up, steak isn’t something that we buy very often. Ground beef is more affordable, but what can you do with it besides tacos, spaghetti and burgers?

Turns out, ground beef stir fry with rice is a delicious way to prepare this standby weeknight protein.

While stir fry is usually made with sliced steak or chicken, I actually kind of prefer it with ground meat! The little bits of meat get crispy and delicious, and it makes a really nice bite when served with rice.

Why You Will Love This Stir Fry with Ground Beef

  • Make it with what you have on hand. Just about any vegetables will work here, and you can even change the meat!
  • It’s easy to pack lots of colorful veggies into this dish.
  • Reheats great for lunch the next day!

Blistered Shishito Peppers and Dipping Sauce are a summer treat that can be served as a snack or side dish. Stir up the sweet, sour, salty and savory condiment in just a minute.

Round white plate filled with blistered shishito peppers and a small fluted white bowl of creamy light orange sauce with red pepper flakes sprinkled on top.

The possibilities are endless with Blistered Shishitos

One of my favorite things to grow in my garden is shishito peppers. I buy seedlings from a garden center for just $2 or $3 each, and plant them in pots on my deck.

Just like jalapeno plants (which I always turn into pickled jalapenos – see my post about how to pickle jalapenos), they need very little care other than plenty of sun and watering.

These easy plants are prolific once they start getting going. Usually by mid-July, we can harvest peppers from them every few days.

These mild peppers are one of my daughter’s favorite foods, so the more we can get, the better!

Sometimes we’ll have so many peppers that we’ll include them in a batch of fajita veggie and serve them with my shrimp fajitas recipe.

But most of the time, we simply blister them in a pan and sprinkle them with salt. We’ll often eat them just like that, but occasionally we’ll make this shishito peppers dipping sauce.

These + a smoked salmon pizza is all I want to eat for dinner in the summer! Shishitos are also one of my very favorite ribs side dishes.

With flavors inspired by nuoc cham (a Vietnamese condiment), this creamy dipping sauce for shishito peppers is sweet, sour, salty and savory.

“Such a quick and easy dressing! I quickly whipped up this dressing in 5 minutes and added some to my wrap. Turned my “meh” lunch into something I really enjoyed!”

—Athena

Ginger Miso Dressing is Fast and Flavorful

I make a batch of traditional miso dressing every few weeks, just to keep on hand. It gets drizzled over salads, salmon and chicken, roasted vegetables and just about everything else.

If I happen to have a knob of ginger hanging around, I take the flavor up a few notches with this miso ginger dressing.

There’s no cooking involved, and most of the ingredients will already be in your fridge and pantry. Every time I make a salad with this dressing for a potluck or gathering, people ask me for the recipe!

Heads up! The dressing recipe below includes lots of fresh ginger, but if you’re not a ginger lover, you might prefer this miso dressing that does NOT include ginger:

Why You’ll Love This Ginger Miso Salad Dressing

  • The perfect balance of savory miso, zesty ginger and tangy rice vinegar makes this dressing pretty irresistable.
  • Ready in just minutes with simple ingredients and minimal prep work.
  • Easy to adjust the sweetness, acidity or saltiness to suit your taste preferences.
