Homemade Miso Dressing

Description

You can whip up this easy and refreshing Homemade Miso Dressing in just minutes. It strikes a perfect balance of flavors with savory miso, spicy ginger, nutty sesame oil, bright lemon juice, tangy rice vinegar, and a touch of sugar for sweetness. Use it on salads, wakame seaweed, noodles, fish, meat, and tofu.

Instructions

1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. Grate the ginger and measure ¼ tsp (grated, with juice). Start with a smaller amount if you prefer a milder flavor.
3. In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger, 2 Tbsp miso, ½ tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp sugar, and 3 Tbsp rice vinegar.
4. Whisk together well to dissolve the miso and sugar.
5. While whisking, slowly drizzle in 2½ Tbsp neutral oil in a thin stream to emulsify. Then slowly whisk in ½ Tbsp toasted sesame oil.
6. Add a splash of lemon juice and whisk to combine.
7. Transfer to a serving dish with a spout or a glass jar.
