Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 cup Silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili paste
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Green onion, chopped
Instructions
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Chop the green onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a blender or food processor, add the silken tofu. This will serve as the high-protein base of the dressing.
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey to the tofu in the blender.
Add the freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili paste to the mixture for an authentic Asian flavor.
Sprinkle in the black pepper for a hint of heat and aroma.
Blend all ingredients on medium speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce for saltiness, honey for sweetness, or chili paste for spice.
Once smooth, transfer the dressing to a bowl and stir in the chopped green onion.
Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dressing over your favorite salad, use as a marinade, or as a dipping sauce for a protein boost in any dish.
