The height of summer has arrived and eggplants are in season. They can be enjoyed in many ways, but this week we will try them simply grilled.

The chewy meat and gelatinous skin make chicken wing tips quite appealing but don't you wish they were easier to eat?

(Cold Somen with Sesame-Miso Dipping Sauce / Image)
"Somen (素麺)", wheat noodles, is thin like angel hair pasta, and take all of two minutes to prepare. And the dipping sauce is a function of mixing, not cooking -- so perfect for summer. The key is the suribachi, or a traditional Japanese-style mortar and pestle. The mortar is an earthenware bowl lined with grinding ridges, while the pestle is made from wood (the finest pestles are made from sansho pepper tree wood, which imparts its own delicate essence). The suribachi is ideal for grinding sesame seeds, the first step in the recipe; in fact, you can prepare the entire sauce in this one bowl (so fewer things to wash, another summer treat!).

Kara-age is a technique for deep frying without a batter, to highlight the natural taste of an ingredient. Foods are simply dredged in flour or starch, to seal the surface, and plopped into a vat of bubbling oil. Flat fish like flounder is delicious deep-fried this way (so is tofu and chicken).
The grated daikon adds fresh flavor, and when added to the dipping sauce, thickens it and helps it adhere to the flounder.
