Categories     Condiment/Spread     Garlic     Ginger     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup finely chopped peeled fresh gingerroot
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, chopped fine (about 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder*

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your dressing a more vibrant color.
  • Peel and mince the ginger finely: This will help the ginger to blend smoothly into the dressing.
  • Use a microplane to grate the ginger: This will give you the finest possible grate, which will result in a smoother dressing.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to taste: The amount of honey you add will depend on how sweet you like your dressing. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dressing. Choose a high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Let the dressing sit for at least 30 minutes before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
