14. Authentic Japanese Cooking: Beef Steak Salad with Ume-sesame Sauce

The theme of this episode is pan-frying. Chef Saito will be showing us a Japanese twist on steak, a worldwide favorite. The secret is the ume-sesame sauce: the tartness of the sauce goes perfectly with the fattiness of the steak, for a clean, delicious flavor. We'll also be learning how to make miso soup with tofu and wakame seaweed, a Japanese standard. We'll be making it with a niboshi dried fish dashi as the base, for a delicious side to go perfectly with our steak!
