Recipe type: Sauce
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: about 2 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 (12-ounce) package soft silken tofu
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white or light miso
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 4 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1-inch chunk of fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons water, or more to thin as desired
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish (see note; optional)
Instructions
  1. Place the tofu, vinegar, miso, maple syrup, sesame oil, ginger, and salt in your blender, and whiz until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. Blend in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over salad, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
Toasted Sesame Seeds: Heat shelled sesame seeds in a skillet, in a single layer, over medium heat while shaking the pan occasionally. Cook them for just a few minutes, or until they begin to look golden and smell fragrant. Keep a close eye, as they go from toasted to burnt rather quickly!
