Japanese Ginger Dressing is a copycat recipe of many Japanese steakhouses like Benihana and Kobe. Sweet ginger and sesame can be a salad dressing or marinade.
Have you ever been to a hibachi grill like Benihani, Kobe or Sakura? These talent show restaurants come with meal and entertainment perfect for adults and kids! Although the menus are nearly always pricy, I don’t think I have ever left without having at least two additional meals in a doggy bag, making the it totally worth it. One of my favorite elements of the meal is always the salad. Iceberg lettuce and shaved vegetables served with a Japanese ginger dressing. *Swoon*
I was craving ginger dressing and also received a request for a copycat version so I set out testing with a blender, a ton of ingredients and some carrot chips for dipping. I finally came up with this recipe for ginger dressing, however it is not the same color, so do not be alarmed when it doesn’t turn out orange. My official taste tester (hubby) drank this version straight from the bowl after he finished his handful of carrot chips. It was then I knew I hit the ginger dressing jackpot!
Don’t just put ginger dressing on your salad though! Use it on grilled vegetables or marinate chicken or seafood in it! Also serve with some of my favorite Asian meals like Teriyaki Pork Kabobs, Wasabi Chicken Potstickers or Tuna with Volcano Sauce. It also stores nicely for up to a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
