- 1 (1-inch piece) fresh ginger, peeled and cut into ¼ inch rounds
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice
- 1 tablespoon sweet white miso
- 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil, such as sesame (not toasted), high-oleic safflower, or avocado oil
Place all ingredients in a wide-mouthed mason jar or cup that will fit an immersion blender without splashing. Blend until smooth, working the blender into the thicker pieces of ginger until they are finely chopped.
Place a lid on the jar. Allow the flavors to develop for at least 1 hour or more in the refrigerator.
The vinaigrette will keep for 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
