- Yields:
-
1/2 cup
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 piece fresh ginger (about the size of a garlic clove)
- 3 ounces soy sauce
- 1 1⁄2 ounces red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 drops sesame oil
- 1⁄2 ounce water
directions
- There are 2 options for preparing this dressing.
- You can either whir ingredients in blender, which makes it a little frothy- which I like.
- Or, you can finely mince the garlic and ginger and whip the rest of the ingredients together with a wire whisk.
- Either way, it's fabulous!
- You can easily double this recipe- just keep the 2 to 1 ratio for the garlic and ginger and the soy sauce and vinegar.

This was really good. I served it over chinese noodles, chicken seasoned with curry, romaine lettuce, peanuts, mango and red pepper. I will definatly use this recipe again. I made the dressing, then cooked the chicken, deglazed the pan with the dressing and let the dressing and chicken cool before I made the salad. YUM YUM YUM.

Just what I was looking for! I only gave it 4 stars because I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I changed the sugar. I used 2 Stivia packets in place of the 1 Tablespoon of sugar. And I probably used 1 to 2 teaspoons of Sesame Oil.<br/><br/>The ginger is fantastic in this. <br/><br/>I would only caution that there is a lot of sodium in this dressing. I used light soy sauce and it was yummy.

I made this the other day and we've used it twice now. . .once on a lettuce salad with red pepper and sunflower seeds and then again today in a slaw of cabbage, bok choy, carrot, red pepper and green onions (with a piece of seared tuna on top). I liked it better in the slaw as a compliment to the tuna, but we didn't care for it just on the lettuce. It was very salt and the soy really overtook the flavor. I think perhaps I will add some honey to the leftovers to see if that helps. I do enjoy the fresh ginger in here. Thanks for posting!

I used a bit more water and a bit less soy and this came out very well. I pureed (to the extent that it worked) the garlic and ginger so that it could be more mixed throughout. The first night we had this (the day I made it), I found the raw garlic to be a little bit over-evident (it lingered as an aftertaste), but on subsequent nights, it was much more mellow and it is really a very nice dressing. I had been buying a fat-free asian sesame dressing at the store, full of unpronouncable ingredients, and I will now use this recipe instead. Thank you.
