Grilled Summer Asparagus Salad with Parmesan, Cherry Tomatoes and Prosciutto

Ingredients

Serves 2 portions

For the Dressing

  • 1 ½ Tbsp white miso
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 ½ Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp ginger, grated
  • ½ tsp garlic, grated
  • 1 Tbsp roasted sesame oil
  • 1½ tsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Asparagus

  • 150g asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, just enough to coat asparagus
  • Sea salt, to taste

For the Salad

  • 30g mache (lamb’s lettuce)
  • 20g pea shoots
  • 1 handful of parsley leaves or mixed herbs
  • 100g mixed cherry red and golden tomatoes, halved
  • ½ conference pears, peeled and sliced thinly into ½ cm pieces
  • 2 Tbsp almond flakes, toasted
  • 2 Tbsp edamame beans, blanched and skin removed
  • 40g aged parmesan, finely grated

  2. Place a griddle pan over medium high heat. In the meantime, toss the asparagus with olive oil to coat and sprinkle with sea salt generously on a tray or plate. Place the asparagus on the hot griddle pan in a single layer. Cook 2-3 minutes, turning the spears as necessary. Cook until slightly charred and tender.
  3. Place the salad leaves, pea shoots, and parsley (or any mixed herbs) in a large bowl. drizzle some of the dressing over and toss lightly to coat.
  4. Divide the salad between two places and top with tomatoes, pears, almond flakes, edamame beans, asparagus, and prosciutto ham. Scatter over parmesan and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle more dressing on top, if you like, and serve immediately.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageFound some old photos from my days as a development chef at @saveurmag. The famed Colman Andrews was the EIC and @jao.vivian was running the test kitchen alongside Melissa Hamilton @canalhouse. I loved testing recipes from all over the world and exploring countries through its food.

Here is a classic American apple pie and puff pastry I made from scratch…. photographed for the magazine.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageIt was a huge honor to speak @stanford university at their Korean Food Gone Global conference. I learned so much from the prestigious academic panelists and was so inspired by my co-keynote speaker @suyoung_ryu. Ryu is a prolific actor in K-Dramas / Movies and most recently known for his starring role in Bloodhounds. As his “side gig”, he is passionate about food and has a viral cooking show— he is getting Korean men into the kitchen learning how to cook!  What a feat!  He also focuses on creating simple meals on a budget, accessible to everyone.

At the conference I spoke about my personal journey into the kitchen and the rise of the Korean “Hallyu” wave. 
It was such an honor to share my views and story with the Stanford community.  Thank you for having me. 🙏🙏

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHad a fabulous time @jonesroadbeauty at their flagship store in NYC @jonesroadbeautyflagship where I got a fabulous makeover for a completely fabulous no-makeup makeup look.  My make up artist @floby1 matched my colors perfectly and i walked out of the store feeling gorgeous!  I am in love with the tinted foundation cream and miracle balm— which I use on my lips and cheeks. So easy. I’m always in a rush so I like that everything can also be applied with your fingers and you don’t have to bother with brushes. 
Thank you Jones Road and @justbobbidotcom for having me!
