Adult Rusk- Spicy Asian Flavor
Share
- ✉
-
Author Notes: Rusks (from crusts or not) are very popular here, with just a hint of sweetness. I wanted something with an Asian flavor that would go with wine or mixed drinks. This is a vegetable dressing I use on some vegetables, like lotus roots (renkon) or green beans. Mayonnaise is used in a lot of baking here including the pizzas, which gave me this idea. Try it and be surprised. Munch on! - BoulderGalinTokyo
Makes 20 pieces
- 1/2 loaf French bread or Baguette, 2 days old
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Tohbanjan (chili bean paste, see Notes)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
- Thinly slice bread, about 1/4 inch.
- Mix mayo and tobanjan until well mixed, then add sesame oil and mix again.
- Spread dressing on bread, not too thick.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- I grilled in my microwave oven on the 'toast' cycle which was fine (about 4 minutes). I would bake rather than broil in a larger oven.
- Mayo Notes*- I used Kewpie Mayonnaise. It is soft and very smooth, and tasty. You could thin other mayos with water, but a touch of vinegar is nice too.
- Notes**- If the sesame oil is a little hard from being cold, set it out for about 10 minutes to warm it up for mixing.
- Notes***- Make as above, then add a buttery cheese like Havarti, toast again.
- The flower is a Chocolate Orchid- really smells like chocolate.

Susan G, You could try it with just the gochujang (no extra miso), I would think. Doesn't it already have some soybeans in it? Or miso and mayo is OK but a splash of Tabasco is needed.

Susan G, aren't you the smart one! That would be perfect. And you could control the amount of "hot" in relation to the saltiness.

About the tohbanjan -- I have miso and I have Korean gochujang. Could I approximate it if I combine them? This does sound good!
