MISO GINGER HONEY DRESSING

Miso Ginger Honey Dressing is a rich, umami-packed dressing that perfectly balances savoury miso, zesty ginger and sweet honey. Rice vinegar adds a gentle tang, while sesame oil provides a nutty depth, making this dressing a versatile addition to salads, roasted vegetables and grain bowls. The combination of ingredients creates a complex yet harmonious flavour profile that pairs beautifully with Asian-inspired dishes. This dressing also works well as a marinade for grilled meats, seafood or tofu. With no cooking required, it’s quick and easy to prepare, making it an excellent choice for meal prep. Whether used as a drizzle over fresh greens or as a dipping sauce for dumplings, this dressing elevates any dish with its deep, slightly sweet and tangy character.

PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Ingredients: Grate the fresh ginger finely and measure out the remaining ingredients to ensure an even balance of flavours.
  • Mix The Base: In a small bowl, combine the white miso paste and rice vinegar. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the miso into the liquid, creating a smooth consistency.
  • Incorporate The Remaining Ingredients: Add the sesame oil, honey and grated ginger to the mixture. Stir well to ensure all components are evenly blended.
  • Whisk Or Shake: If mixing by hand, use a whisk and stir vigorously for about 30 seconds. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a small jar, seal it tightly and vigorously shake until emulsified.
  • Taste And Adjust: Sample the dressing and make adjustments as needed. Add a bit more honey for extra sweetness or a dash of vinegar for added tanginess.
  • Let It Rest: Allow the dressing to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving. This helps the flavours meld together for a more balanced taste.
  • Serve And Enjoy: Drizzle over salads, grain bowls and grilled vegetables or use them as a dipping sauce for dumplings or spring rolls.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this miso ginger honey dressing.

  • Use Fresh Ginger: Freshly grated ginger provides a more vibrant and aromatic flavour than pre-ground or jarred alternatives.
  • Adjust The Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or extra rice vinegar to thin it out.
  • Enhance The Umami Flavour: A few drops of soy sauce or tamari can deepen the savoury notes in the dressing.
  • Mix Well Before Serving: Miso can settle at the bottom, so whisk or shake the dressing before each use to ensure an even consistency.
  • Add A Hint Of Spice: If you enjoy the heat, stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few drops of sriracha for a spicy kick.
  • Let It Sit For Richer Flavour: Allowing the dressing to rest for 10 minutes before serving enhances the depth of flavour.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Miso Ginger Dressing: Add ¼ tsp sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Adjust heat to preference.
  • Citrusy Miso Dressing: Stir in ½ tsp fresh orange juice or zest for a bright, citrusy twist that pairs well with seafood dishes.
  • Nutty Miso Dressing: Replace sesame oil with peanut or almond butter for a creamier texture and rich, nutty depth.
  • Garlic Miso Dressing: Mix in ¼ tsp minced garlic for a bolder, more aromatic flavour. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse.
  • Vegan Alternative: Swap honey for maple syrup or agave nectar for a completely plant-based version.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir or shake before each use, as ingredients may separate.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as miso-based dressings can change texture when thawed.
  • Serving Tip: If the dressing thickens in the fridge, add a few drops of warm water and whisk to restore the original consistency.
