MISO CARROT SAUCE WITH GINGER (JAPANESE SALAD DRESSING)

Miso Carrot Sauce With Ginger (Japanese Salad Dressing) image

Really nice dressing! One measure of a good home cook is the ability to make your own salad dressing. Or so says Mark Bittman in the food section of the New York Times. This is the orange dressing you sometimes see on your too-cold salad in Japanese restaurants. I made this tonight, and thought it was much better than any other I ever tried at a Japanese restaurant! I made this with half the corn oil, so if you'd like to try the original recipe you can increase amount to 1/4 cup. I did not decrease the sesame oil (but did use regular).

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

For creamy carrot dressing (base recipe):
2 medium carrots, chopped if using a high-powered blender (about 1 1/4 cups), grated if using a regular blender
1/2 cup filtered water
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 (3-inch) piece scallion, white and light green parts only, coarsely chopped
1 (1/2-inch) slice of a large garlic clove
1/2 tsp. fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1 tsp. tamari, plus more to taste
For spicy carrot-miso dressing:
1 recipe Creamy Carrot Dressing, omitting the salt and using brown rice vinegar in place of the lime juice
1 Tbsp. unpasteurized chickpea miso or sweet white miso
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (finely chopped if using a regular blender)
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper, plus more to taste

Steps:

Base recipe:
Combine the carrots, water, cashews, olive oil, lime juice, scallion, garlic, salt, and tamari in an upright blender and blend until completely smooth; this will take at least 1 minute. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and blend again. Adjust the seasoning to taste and blend again. Use immediately, or store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before using. The dressing will thicken once chilled; thin it out with a little water if needed.
Spicy carrot-miso dressing:
Make the dressing following the instructions for the base recipe, adding the miso, ginger, and cayenne to the blender along with the other ingredients. Adjust the seasoning with cayenne as well as more salt to taste.

Tips

For a sweeter dressing, use white miso paste instead of red miso paste.
If you don't have any mirin, you can substitute dry white wine or sake.
To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk all the ingredients together and store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
This dressing is great on salads, grilled vegetables, and roasted tofu.
You can also use it as a marinade for chicken, fish, or shrimp.
