Ingredients

1. 1 1/2 tablespoons black or white sesame seeds
2. 3 tablespoons white miso paste
3. 2 tablespoons soy sauce
4. 2 scallions, chopped
5. 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
6. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
7. 1 teaspoon sugar
8. 1 Thai chile, very thinly sliced
9. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
11. Salt and freshly ground pepper
12. 6 firm medium zucchini
13. 1 sheet of nori, julienned (see Note)

Directions

1. If using white sesame seeds, in a small skillet, toast them over moderate heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, scallions, rice vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and chile. Whisk in the olive oil and stir in the cilantro; season with salt and pepper.
3. Using a mandoline, cut the zucchini lengthwise into paper-thin slices. In a very large bowl, toss the zucchini with the dressing. Transfer to a platter. Scatter the nori and toasted sesame seeds on top and serve right away.

Make Ahead

The miso vinaigrette can be refrigerated overnight.

Notes

The easiest way to julienne the nori is with a pair of scissors.
