Soy GInger Dressing

Even though I have been horrible about blogging (reasons include work, Frisbee, dog, work, etc.), it doesn't mean I haven't been keeping up with the new years resolution of trying new food outside of the standard repit...repat...menu of food I make all the time.

This past week I made soy ginger dressing for an oriental salad, Greek honeyed apricots to go with a Greek marinated pork loin and then the soy ginger dressing again for dinner tonight. Moral of the story, when you find something good...add it to the your repit...repat...menu of food you make all the time.

Inspiration: Left over chicken, curried cashews, Mandarin oranges and oriental salad fixins
Time: 10 minutes prep
Difficulty: Easy
Special equipment:
Servings: 1 large salad

Ingredients
4 cloves garlic
1/2 square inch ginger, grated super fine
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic chili paste
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 Tbs. soy sauce
2 Tbs. sesame oil
3 drips of fish sauce (optional)

1. Mash to a paste garlic and salt. Mix in ginger and garlic chili paste.

2. Whisk in remaining ingredients. Let sit for at least 5 minutes.

3. Toss with salad fixins, roasted veggies or noodles.

Note: In theory, this would also be a good marinade for chicken or pork...but I haven't tried that yet.
