CARROT GINGER DRESSING



Carrot Ginger Dressing image

What makes the salad dressing often served in sushi restaurants so delicious? The orange gives away the carrots, but everything else is blended into a smooth, tangy and well-balanced vinaigrette. Apple is used as an unexpected natural sweetener and miso adds a salty complexity. Be sure to find white miso; it is subtly sweet and mellow compared to other varieties and won't affect the color of your dressing.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     condiment

Time 10m

Yield about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped (about 4 ounces)
1/2 red apple, such as Gala, Honeycrisp or Fuji, peeled, cored and roughly chopped (about 3 ounces)
One 1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/4 cup white miso
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the carrot, apple, ginger, garlic, miso, rice vinegar, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a blender. Puree until smooth. (If necessary, stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula to help the ingredients blend completely.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 7 days.

ASPARAGUS AND CHICKEN SALAD WITH GINGER DRESSING



Asparagus and Chicken Salad With Ginger Dressing image

Asparagus takes easily to many kinds of seasonings, so after you've tired of having it plain with butter or homemade mayonnaise, try this spicy dressing laced with ginger and chiles. Adding smoked chicken is a nice way to make a more substantial first course or light lunch. You can purchase smoked chicken at better butcher shops or online, but equally good is grilled chicken at room temperature, or cold poached chicken. I sometimes substitute lightly smoked ham or smoked slab bacon, simmered until tender.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large shallot, finely diced, about 2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt to taste
Generous pinch of cayenne
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound asparagus
Salt and pepper
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, crushed
3/4 pound smoked chicken, sliced
1 large lime, halved
Basil, mint and cilantro leaves, about 1/2 cup total

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, put shallots in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and cayenne and let steep for 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, then whisk in sesame oil and vegetable oil. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Snap off the tough end of each asparagus spear, then cut each spear into 2-inch lengths. Cut thicker pieces in half lengthwise as necessary so all cut pieces are approximately the same size. Place asparagus pieces into boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Drain and cool under running water. Blot dry.
  • To make the salad, put asparagus in a salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add chile, if using, and crushed peanuts. Dress with half the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
  • Arrange dressed asparagus on a platter or on individual plates. Tear chicken slices into strips and scatter over asparagus. Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the salad and give it a good squeeze of lime. Garnish with basil, mint and cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

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).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (1 1/2-inch piece)
1 large carrot, finely grated
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon rice-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons white miso
3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water, if needed

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse ginger and carrot to a coarse paste. Add vinegar and miso, and pulse to combine.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 118 g, Fat 10 g, Fiber 1 g, Protein 1 g, Sodium 147 g

Tips:

  • Select the Freshest Ingredients: Opt for the ripest ginger, tangy citrus fruits like lemons or limes, and high-quality olive oil. Fresh herbs like cilantro or mint can add a burst of flavor.
  • Balance the Flavors: Achieve a harmonious balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy elements. Use honey or maple syrup to add sweetness, citrus juice for sourness, a pinch of salt for balance, and freshly grated ginger for a spicy kick.
  • Adjust the Consistency: Make your dressing as thick or thin as desired. For a thicker dressing, use less liquid or add a dollop of yogurt or Greek yogurt. For a thinner dressing, add more liquid or even some sparkling water for a refreshing twist.
  • Experiment with Different Herbs and Spices: Don't limit yourself to the classic ginger dressing ingredients. Try adding a teaspoon of ground cumin, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a handful of chopped nuts for a unique flavor profile.
  • Use High-Quality Olive Oil: The quality of the olive oil greatly influences the overall flavor of the dressing. Opt for extra virgin olive oil for its rich taste and health benefits.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant flavors and versatility, ginger dressing is a delightful addition to various dishes. Whether you're drizzling it over a crisp salad, marinating grilled chicken, or using it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, this dressing is sure to tantalize your taste buds. Experiment with different ingredients and proportions to create a dressing that perfectly complements your favorite dishes. From zesty and invigorating to creamy and comforting, the possibilities are endless. Happy dressing!
