Does anyone know a good recipe for ginger dressing?
The kind you can get at Japanese restaurants (for example BeniHana's)
Answers:
I've always loved that Ginger dressing they serve at Japanese restaurants. This is one I found online, and I've tried it, so I know it's excellent! Here it is...
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
3/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup water
In a 1 pint glass jar or larger, combine the garlic, ginger, olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and water. Cover the jar with a tight fitting lid, and shake well. Remove lid, and heat jar in the microwave for 1 minute just to dissolve the honey. Let cool, and shake well before serving. Store covered in the refrigerator.
Also, some specialty stores have ginger dressing - which seems like a relatively new kind to buy a the store. It's not nearly as good, but works if you're in a pinch.
CITRUS GINGER DRESSING
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 grapefruit or orange (with zest), peeled and seeded
1 1/2 tablespoons wine or balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated or sliced ginger
1/8 teaspoon each black pepper and salt or to taste
Using a zester or a sharp knife remove zest (or peel) of one half of the citrus fruit that you'll be using -- add to blender or food processor bowl.
Process garlic, vinegar, citrus and peel. Allow to sit five minutes. Add remaining ingredients and process one more time, briefly.
