Japanese Ume Dressing image

I'm always tinkering and creating new Japanese salad dressing. This is one them I created 7-8 years ago and very tasty. Umeboshi can be found in Japanese markets in the refrigerated section. It is often called pickled plums. However, ume is closer to small apricots. The size range from dime to 50 cent piece. Smaller dime sized umeboshi is usually very crunchy and should not be used for this recipe as there is not enough fruit and taste is lacking and briny. Ume flavor is very, very popular in Japanese cooking. You can find ume confection, ume rice crackers, ume candy, ume ice cream, ume pork chops, ume drinks, ume in various salad dishes, and of course, ume dressing like this. Umeboshi is loved by Japanese as much as tea and rice.

I found this dressing to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra honey and sesame oil to give it more flavor.

This dressing is a bit too salty for my taste.

I tried this dressing on a salad and it was just okay. I think it would be better on grilled chicken or fish.

I wasn't a fan of this dressing. The umeboshi paste was too overpowering for me.

This dressing is a bit too tart for my taste, but I can see how it would be good on a salad with lots of sweet ingredients.

I'm not a huge fan of umeboshi, but I actually really enjoyed this dressing. The sweetness of the honey and the nuttiness of the sesame oil really balance out the tartness of the umeboshi.

This dressing is so easy to make and it's so versatile. I've used it on salads, as a marinade for chicken, and even as a dipping sauce for spring rolls. It's always a hit!
