This recipe is not about raw fish. It's all about a new onion dressing.
I've been using this new onion a lot since they are in season at the Japanese supermarket.
New baby onion is the one on the left↓
I'm a big fan of new onions!!!
As you can see, they have a thinner skin, are more moist, sweeter, softer and less pungent than a regular yellow onion.
They are perfect for making a salad. I’m a little sensitive to onion pungency but I can eat this onion raw.
In Japan, they are generally available from April to June. Do you have one in your country? If you are in Japan, I highly recommend to buy this new onion (新たまねぎ）!
I'm using bonito fish since it’s also in season now, but feel free to swap for any sashimi grade raw fish.
This recipe might not be for kids but it's perfect for those who love drinking at dinner time! Haha!

<Miwa’s tip> Sorry there's a lot to tell you! Haha!
・Tuna, salmon, scallops and boiled shrimp are also good. Even drizzling this dressing on avocado or tofu is yum!
・If you are sensitive to onion pungency, soak the finely chopped onion in water for 5 minutes and drain the liquid. Also if you are making it with a regular onion, they are more pungent, so you'll definitely want to soak in water first!!
・This dressing need to be chilled.
・Myoga is totally optional.
・If you don’t have salted rice malt, just add extra teaspoon of soy sauce and a pinch of salt
・If you don’t have sushi vinegar, you can add 2 tbsp of vinegar ＋1 1/2 tbsp of sugar.
<Storage time>
For the onion dressing→store it in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
