Ginger Sesame Dressing

There are endless variations of this popular Japanese dressing out there. Here is ours. We like to eat this over thinly sliced cabbage & carrots. It also goes really well with grilled meats or fish.

Ingredients:

  • 3cm piece of ginger, peeled

  • ⅛ apple, peeled

  • ½ shallot

  • ½ carrot

  • ½ clove of garlic

  • 30ml rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp tahini paste

  • ½ tsp sugar

  • 110ml vegetable oil

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • Optional: 1tsp toasted sesame seeds

Special Equipment Needed:

  • Blender or food processor

Instructions:

  1. Peel and roughly chop all of your solid ingredients.
    Note: Use the edge of a teaspoon to peel the ginger - it’s quicker and less wasteful than using a knife.

  2. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until well combined. We enjoy this dressing best when it’s still a little chunky, so there’s no need to process until completely smooth.

  3. Taste and adjust for seasoning.

  4. Store in the fridge and use up within one week.

Enjoy!
