[audre]

Now here is something to try...

Urui with Vinegar Mustard Miso Dressing by Kenya

Ingredients:
Hosta (H. montana or whatever hosta you'd like to try)
White miso (bean paste)
Sugar
Sake (Japanese rice wine) or mirin (sweet cooking rice wine)
Vinegar (Kenya recommends rice vinegar)
Mustard

1. Prepare hosta (Refer to the 2nd paragraph of this page)
2. Serve with VMM Dressing (Recipe below)

Boiled hosta
VMM Dressing

1. Place white miso and sugar (about 1 : 0.7) in a small sauce pan
2. Add some sake or mirin just enough so it is easy to mix
3. Cook over low heat stirring constantly with a wooden spoon
4. It is done when it turns creamy
5. Cool the miso mixture
6. Add vinegar to thin the miso mixture and mix well with a whisk
7. Prepare mustard if you use dry one; Luke-warm water makes the mustard spicier
8. Add the mustard to your taste to the miso mixture, and mix more with a whisk
9. Serve the cooked hosta with the dressing

Got this from a very nice hosta website with great photos and information:
