Author:EVK
Ingredients
Scale
olive oil
rice vinegar
apple cider vinegar
1/2 a lime
1 cm of ginger
1/2 a Thai chili
soy sauce (or Bragg’s or fish sauce)
maple syrup (or honey or mirin)
sesame oil
Instructions
Pour a few good splashes of olive oil into a jar, blender or mini food processor.
Add a good splash of rice vinegar, and splashes of apple cider vinegar and lime juice. You want to have a ratio of about 3 parts oil to 1 part acid (the vinegars and lime juice).
Add a small piece of ginger and 1/2 a Thai chili, both very finely diced.
Add a splash of soy sauce and a little splash of maple syrup to take the acid edge off.
Add a couple drops of sesame oil for scent.
Seal your jar and shake, or whiz with a blender, submersion blender or mini food processor.
Taste your dressing and balance it by adding more of whatever you think it needs; it should taste clean and bright with a spicy kick from the ginger and chili, and smell beautiful from the lime juice and sesame oil!
