Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by peeling and grating fresh ginger using a microplane or the fine side of a box grater to yield 2 tablespoons. Place the grated ginger into a mixing bowl.
Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of honey to the bowl with the ginger. Stir to combine and dissolve the honey completely.
Next, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture. Whisk vigorously until well combined and emulsified.
Mince 1 clove of garlic and add it to the dressing mixture along with 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Season the dressing with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Adjust to taste if necessary.
For a smoother consistency, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend for about 30 seconds.
Pour the ginger dressing into a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and shake well before serving.
Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk before using as the ingredients may separate over time.
