MISO CARROT SAUCE WITH GINGER (JAPANESE SALAD DRESSING)
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).

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:
- Fresh carrots: Use fresh, crisp carrots for the best flavor and texture.
- Choose the right miso paste: Different types of miso paste have different flavors. For this recipe, we recommend using a white or yellow miso paste, which has a mild and sweet flavor.
- Use a good quality rice vinegar: Rice vinegar has a delicate flavor that complements the other ingredients in this dressing.
- Make sure the dressing is well-emulsified: When you whisk the ingredients together, make sure to whisk vigorously until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your liking: If you find the dressing too salty or too sweet, you can adjust the amount of miso paste or rice vinegar accordingly.
Conclusion:
This carrot miso dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on salads, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, and more.
