Step-by-Step Instructions for Japanese Carrot Ginger Dressing
  1. In a blender, add the peeled and chopped carrots, finely chopped onion, and freshly grated ginger. Then, sprinkle in the granulated sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything on high speed for about 30-45 seconds until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
  2. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 3/4 cup of canola or vegetable oil. Continue blending for another 15-30 seconds until well combined and the texture is velvety.
  3. Pause to taste your dressing. Adjust sweetness or salt level as needed and blend briefly again.
  4. Pour the dressing into a serving bowl or jar. Use immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator to meld flavors.
  5. If any dressing is leftover, store it in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
