Recently, our friend Val sent in a request,
“Dear Girl, I just love the ginger dressing you get from Hibachi restaurants. Any ideas?”
Why, yes I do! Whenever I eat at a Japanese restaurant, I look forward to the ginger dressing; always requesting extra. I even use the dressing for dipping crusty breads, and sometimes I use it to marinade my Sunday roast, or pork chops. Yummy!
I’ve never been to Benihana, but I have tried “Top Secret Recipes version of Benihana Ginger Salad Dressing” by Todd Wilbur. It is the best dressing. Even better than the average ginger salad found in your local Japanese restaurant.
It’s easy to put together. Todd’s instructions say to use a blender. With using a blender, I’ve found that you need to do a little fine chopping. However, since finding my Immersion Blender, I toss the roughly chopped ingredients into a pot and go at it with my handheld wonder stick. Less clean up too (our least favorite effort to cooking).
Todd has a ton of great recipes to try. You should check out Top Secret Recipes for lots of cool ideas and tips.
Hey Val! Let me know if you try it. This is definitely a win-win dressing.
