Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger root using a spoon or a vegetable peeler to remove the thin skin.
Grate the ginger root finely using a microplane or the smallest side of a box grater until you have about 2 tablespoons.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated ginger, soy sauce, olive oil, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and minced garlic.
Stir in the stevia or monk fruit sweetener and black pepper until well incorporated.
Whisk the mixture briskly or use an immersion blender to achieve a cohesive emulsion where ingredients are well mixed.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more sweetener for a hint more sweetness or a splash more vinegar for extra tang.
Transfer the ginger dressing to a glass jar with a tight lid for storage.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Shake well before each use and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
