ckreef Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) I wanted to reproduce the ginger dressing you get on the lettuce salad when you go out to a Japanese steak house. I found a recipe on the Internet for "best copycat recipe on the Internet" - wrong, not even close. I thought they basically had the right ingredients (except missing 2) but the ingredients were in the wrong proportions. After a few additions and tweaks I think I nailed it pretty good. ........................... Japanese Ginger Dressing (lettuce salad) Yield: approximately 10 oz. 1/3 c. Peanut oil 1/4 c. Rice vinegar 1/4 c. Ketchup 1/8 c. Mayonnaise 2 Tbsp Water 1 Tbsp Sesame oil 2 tsp Soy sauce 1 tsp Lemon juice (fresh squeezed) 1/4 c. Onion (chopped) 2 Tbsp Ginger (chopped) 2 Tbsp Celery (chopped) 1 tsp Garlic (chopped) 4 tsp Sugar 1/2 tsp Table salt Put all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until the ingredients are pureed (about 30 seconds.) Chill in refrigerator for a couple of hours. Strain before serving. Edited January 7, 2017 by ckreef 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When our Fresh Market closed here last year, I lost my only local source for Dukes. Luckily an old high school buddy, who now lives in Atlanta, was passing through this summer and brought me 10 quart jars!! I'm set for a few months now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
