Japanese Ginger Dressing (Restaurant-Style)
This Japanese ginger dressing is smooth, bold, and full of fresh flavor. Made with ginger, carrot, onion, and rice vinegar, it comes together in minutes and tastes just like restaurant-style hibachi dressing.
Ingredients
- 40 g ginger
- 1 garlic cloves
- 100 g onion
- 150 g carrot
- 120 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 50 ml rice vinegar
- 50 ml soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Peel and roughly chop the ginger, garlic, onion, and carrot. Add the chopped vegetables to a blender or food processor.
- Pour in the extra virgin olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and black pepper.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then transfer to a jar or bottle.
Notes
Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger makes all the difference here; it gives the dressing its bold, zippy kick.
Blend Everything Well: I like to let the blender run for a full minute to get the dressing extra smooth and pourable.
Let It Chill: I always chill the dressing for at least 30 minutes; it really brings the flavors together.
Adjust for Balance: Sometimes I add a tiny bit more vinegar or honey, depending on what the salad needs.
Store Smart: I keep it in a sealed glass jar in the fridge, and it lasts up to a week.
