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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Next, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture. Whisk vigorously until well combined and emulsified.
Step 4
Mince 1 clove of garlic and add it to the dressing mixture along with 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Step 5
Season the dressing with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Adjust to taste if necessary.
Step 6
For a smoother consistency, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend for about 30 seconds.
Step 7
Pour the ginger dressing into a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and shake well before serving.
Step 8
Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk before using as the ingredients may separate over time.
