For anyone who is curious - here is the recipe for the yellow shrimp sauce I was asking about. I went to Japanese Village a couple weeks ago and asked the chef what it was, then found the recipe online.
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 1/2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- salt to taste
- 1 pinch freshly ground white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon grated yuzu (Japanese orange), lemon or lime peel
Directions
- In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks and lemon juice with a wooden spoon. Beat in vegetable oil a few drops at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture begins to emulsify. When all of the oil has been incorporated, stir in the miso, salt, white pepper and grated yuzu. Refrigerate in a squeeze bottle for convenient application.
