Win-It Wednesday: Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar Prize Pack (3 Winners!)

August 25, 2010 by Tara Kuczykowski

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!

Nakano recently sent our family a bottle of their Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar so we could give it a try. I’ve been debating about exactly how I wanted to use it, and then today I stumbled upon this recipe which inspired me to create this recipe for Tangy Sesame Cucumber Salad. With just five ingredients, it’s simple, easy and delicious!

Toss your sesame seeds in a pan and toast them over medium heat. No oil needed — the natural oils already in the seeds are plenty. Watch them carefully because just want some light color. It shouldn’t take more than about five minutes and will likely take less.

Slice up two cucumbers very thin.

Whisk together the oil, Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar, and the soy sauce to make a vinaigrette.

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top of the cucumbers and toss with the vinaigrette — that’s it!

The end result is light and refreshing with just a bit of tang, and the nuttiness of the sesame seeds is the perfect accompaniment. I’m really excited to try seasoned vinegar in some other recipes now.

Tangy Sesame Cucumber Salad

Ingredients:

2 large cucumbers sliced
1 T. toasted sesame seeds (freshly toasted is best!)

6 T. Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar

Directions:

1. Toast the sesame seeds over medium heat.
2. Whisk together rice vinegar, oil, and soy sauce.
3. Toss cucumbers with toasted sesame seeds and vinaigrette.

    This is my favorite splash tip:Use on Salads as a healthier alternative to dressing. I like that it does not contain sugar.

    My favorite Splash Tip is: Use as a tangy base for tomato-based barbecue sauces.

    I like to splash it on sliced tomatoes with some olive oil, basil and mozzarella cheese then broil in the oven until the cheese is brown.
