Ahi sashimi

With iceberg lettuce South River miso and adjusted soy sauce. 

Adjusted soy sauce: Flavored beyond the nearly abusive salty flavor of straight soy sauce along the usual lines of this sort of thing, diluted, and thickened. 

* 1/4 cup soy sauce. This seems like a lot and it probably is. This is the base. It is too strong by itself so it is diluted with water

 In amount that seem reasonable to you:

* Japanese saki

* honey

* rice vinegar

* fish sauce (just a few drops)

* powdered ginger

* corn starch (1 level teaspoon)

* chile pepper flakes

* wasabi (one generous teaspoon)

* water

Vigorously shake ingredients in a closed jar. Remove lid from jar. Heat in microwave for one minute or until the mixture boils. Adjust if necessary with more water. 

You know, it's time to order another case of miso from South River. Hang on.

I am now down beyond the last halves of the last two jars and it is no longer summertime so the prohibition is lifted that holds against outward shipments during hot summer months. The heat tends to make jars explode in transit, you see,  apparently due to the aliveness of real miso. At least that is how I understand it. I am not connected to South River miso save as satisfied customer appreciative of reliably high quality products, and they do not pay me anything for promoting them, in fact they charge me for their products.
