I thought this recipe was great. It turned out to not exactly be what I was hunting for, but it worked out great with my sashimi dinner. Like everyone else, I added some pure sesame oil for more flavor and backed off on the ketchup a bit. Bf loved it!!

This recipe is just like advertised. I love the ginger dressing that you get at Japanese Restaurants and this is it. I substituted low-carb ketchup and then used two packets of splenda and it still came out perfect. Thanks to whomever posted this.

I always prefer homemade dressings to store bought. This was great! I also used less ketchup (1 T) and found the taste to be just like my favorite Japanese restaurant's dressing. YUM!

The recipie was great - only I think that thwere was too much ketchup. I would reduce the amount of ketchup. As well, I added a bit more oil and soy sauce. (I also added a few drops of sesemme seed oil) After I made teh dressing, my boyfrined then said - you could have just put the onion and celery into the blender - no need to mince it by hand... When I make the dressing again, I will certainly do that!

Great! Tastes just like the salad dressing served in my local restaurants (more or less). Don't blend too much or it will not have the authentic thickness of restaurant dressings. Will definitely make this repeatedly!

I was a little disappointed with this recipe. It was way too acidic and I even used less vinegar and a little more peanut oil and sugar. However, the flavor combo was really close to the dressing at our favorite Japanese steakhouse. It should have more of a fruity taste and be creamier. Like maybe a touch of mandarine orange. Next time I make it I will start with a tiny amount of vinager and add to taste and maybe add some salad dressing(Miracle whip). Following another review, I also quartered an apple and let it mingle overnight.

Great! This does taste like the dressing in Japanese restaurants, my husband says it is better! I skipped the ketchup, peanut oil, celery and used jarred sushi ginger. Will make again. Thank you for sharing this recipe Holly!

What a fantastic and flavorful dressing! I substituted good quality olive oil for the peanut (allergy concerns), cut back on the soy by 1tsp, and half the ketchup for srirracha chili sauce. Will make many more times!

Very much like the restaurant style dressing! Be careful not to use too much ketchup though. I think I would start with a little less next time and add to taste.

This is the only correct recipe. Others will call for miso or vegetable oil instead of peanut oil. Trust me the peanut oil is better for you and taste much better. Simply Delicious!!!

Very tasty recipe but way too much onion flavor for my taste. I think I would cut the onion by at least half next time, and there will definitely be a next time.

Not at all the recipe I was looking for, very different from the restaurant dressing. This was very ginger-y and had too much soy sauce or something...I don't know. I made it twice trying to adjust, but it never did work out.
