Miso Dressing
Print

Miso is a hugely versatile ingredient in Japanese cuisine. Although most popularly used for the famous miso soup, miso paste can also be used to marinate meat and fish or even making a delicious dressing.

This salad dressing has a rich, tangy flavour for that classic Asian taste which makes it a perfect salad dressing for when you want something a little different. This dressing also works fantastically well as a tasty dip for fresh vegetables, perfect as a healthy snack.

Ingredients

• Miso Paste – 60ml
• Soy Sauce – 2 Tablespoons
• Rice Vinegar – 2 Tablespoons
• Sesame Oil – 2 Tablespoons
• Fresh Ginger – 1 Small Piece
• Water

• Ginger Grater

How to prepare

Start by peeling the fresh ginger first. I find the easiest way to peel ginger is to use a spoon to scrape off the outer layer.
One your ginger is peeled, grate it into a paste using a grater or blend it with a food blender until there are no solid pieces remaining.
Now add the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil to the ginger paste and mix it well together.

While you are mixing the ingredients, add a little water gradually until the dressing is at the right consistency. It is now ready to serve either as a dressing or even simply to dip some fresh vegetables in.

Tips and information

- You can use either red or white miso to make this dressing depending on which flavour you personally prefer. We like red miso for this recipe, but if you want to try it with a milder, slightly sweet taste, try white miso instead.
- Try adding a little salt, or even sugar to the dressing while you mix the ingredients to get the right flavour for your tastes.
