Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Japanese Carrot Ginger Dressing
  1. Begin by placing the peeled and chopped carrots, onion, ginger, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and salt into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth.
  2. With the blender still running, gradually drizzle in the canola or vegetable oil. Continue blending for another 30 seconds until the dressing thickens and emulsifies.
  3. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or vinegar as needed. Blend for another 10 seconds to incorporate adjustments.
  4. Transfer the dressing into a clean glass jar. Use immediately over salads or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
