List of Ingredients



• Miso Dressing:
  
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
  
• 1/2 teaspoons unbleached flour
  
• 1 1/2 tablespoon cider vinegar
  
• 2 tablespoons honey
  
• 3 tablespoons water
  
• 1 tablespoon white miso
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi powder
  
• Salad:
  
• 4 cups cut-up napa cabbage leaves
  
• 4 cups bok choy, including stalks and leaves, thinly sliced on diagonal
  
• 1 cup hand-torn radicchio
  
• 1/2 cup sliced radishes
  
• 1 cup sliced firm mushrooms
  
• 2 green onions, including tops, cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch lengths
  
• 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
  






Instructions



1. To prepare the dressing: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat
   until hot. Add the canola oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the
   flour and cook, stirring rapidly, until the flour begins to turn
   light brown, about 45 seconds. Add the vinegar and let bubble 30
   seconds.
   
   
2. Add the honey and water; cook, stirring constantly, until the
   mixture is smooth and comes to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
   
3. Whisk in the miso and wasabi until the mixture is very smooth.
   Transfer the dressing to a glass bowl, cover and let stand 30 minutes
   before serving.
   
   
4. To prepare salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the cabbage
   and bok choy. Scatter the radicchio, radishes, mushrooms, green
   onions and bean sprouts on top. Drizzle with dressing and toss to
   combine, or serve the dressing on the side.
