Ginger Soy Dressing: Finely Mince Ginger for an Even Bite
Cooking for yourself? This dressing combines equal amounts of soy sauce, vinegar, and water, then adds ginger and honey. Since it contains no oil, how finely and evenly the ginger is minced matters. The flavor in each bite differs from using large pieces of ginger.
Before cooking for one
Cooking just for yourself? Start with these amounts from the recipe's one-serving column. Check the full ingredient list below for the remaining ingredients and seasonings.
- Soy sauce: 0.5 household eating spoon
- Rice vinegar: 0.5 household eating spoon
- Water: 0.5 household eating spoon
Follow the recipe's preparation and cooking steps after measuring; package size is not the amount to use.
Prepare 1/8 household eating spoon of ginger, trimmed of parts you will not use, such as the skin, and finely minced. Even a small amount can overwhelm a bite if large pieces remain. Soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water are each half a spoonful, and honey is 1/4 spoonful. This mixture does not use equal amounts of all the liquids.
Ingredients for 1 serving
- Soy sauce: 1/2 household eating spoon
- Rice vinegar: 1/2 household eating spoon
- Water: 1/2 household eating spoon
- Minced ginger: 1/8 household eating spoon
- Honey: 1/4 household eating spoon
This is written based on the ingredient chart for 1 serving in the app. Household eating spoons and pinches are everyday measures and have not been converted to precise grams or milliliters. Check the package sizes and cup capacity shown in parentheses as well.
Method
- Step 1. Finely chop the ingredients to be minced with a knife, making the pieces no larger than 2 mm. Measure out each amount listed in the ingredient chart.
- Step 2. Put the prepared ingredients in a small dipping dish or cup, and stir evenly, reaching the bottom and sides.
- Step 3. Start by serving half of the finished sauce. Taste a bite, then add the rest as needed. If serving it with other sauces, use a little of each.
No need to add oil
The original app instructions also include general information about sauces that contain oil, but this mixture has no oil. Simply mix the five prepared ingredients in a small dipping dish, stirring so no honey remains at the bottom. If the ginger settles over time, stir again before serving so it is evenly distributed.
Serve a little at a time with tofu or cooked vegetables
We suggest serving half alongside separately prepared tofu or vegetables, then tasting. If adding it to a dish that already contains soy sauce, the saltiness may be more pronounced. Even if you want a stronger ginger flavor, do not increase the amount substantially from the start. Taste the basic mixture first, then record any adjusted amounts.
