Japanese ginger dressing

Last night I made a salad and topped it off with this dressing. In America, most so-called Japanese restaurants serve salads with this type of tangy ginger sauce!

I have not once had anything similar to it in Japan. That just goes to show you how authentic most Japanese restaurants in the States/Canada are. I suppose with all things have to be Americanized in America, Canadianized in Canada, Germanized in Germany, Japanized in Japan, and so on...sorry some of those words I made up.

RECIPE for 'Japanese' ginger dressing

• olive oil (3 big spoons)
• vinegar (お酢, 1.5 big spoons)
• miso (1 -3 spoons)
• mirin (2 big spoons)
• grated ginger (1 big spoon)
• grated carrot (2 big spoons)
• grated onion (2-3 big spoons)
• some sugar (1-3 big spoons, to taste)
• lemon juice (ちょきっと）a dash or two, to taste

You should adjust this recipe accordingly - some like it tangier while others like it less or more sweet...have fun experimenting!!!
