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).

1 head of iceberg lettuce
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
1/4 head of red cabbage, thinly sliced (optional)
Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Dressing
4-5 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 cup coarsely chopped, fresh carrots
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped shallot (optional)

Steps:
