Thank you for this recipe! I've always loved Japanese Steakhouse Ginger dressing and this is an awesome duplication! I'm so happy to be able to have it at home now!

I used my own measurements (to taste) and used another reviewers idea of using mayo in place of the olive oil, used all the other ingredients as listed. It worked really well! We prefer the creaminess and taste (really can't taste the mayo at all) to the strong flavor of the olive oil. The soy gives it a pretty ugly color (if you use mayo), so I added 2 drops of red and 3 drops of yellow coloring to get an orange color close to Thousand Island dressing!

4 stars for being a good base recipe. I used half the soy sauce and half the lemon juice, added 1/2 lime juiced, 1 tbs sesame oil, 2 - 3 tbs rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp splenda, and 3 tbs plain greek style yogurt... then it was awesome! Even better after sitting in the frig overnight!

This recipe works best if you follow the ingredients. I did have to change one thing I didn't have soy sauce, some how it is MIA. I ended up using Tamari witch is the same thing as soy sauce just more consternated. I recommend you to use a little less but I used the same amount as the soy sauce and it was FAB! I also add more ginger because I love the taste. This was real close to the ginger dressing at the local Japanese restaurant in my city. If you love giger you will love this dressing. Also in someones review they mentioned Benihana Recipes was better I checked it out and its the same recipe. Someone had a moment I think.

It tastes good but I would reduce the amount of oil next time I make it. It comes out a bit too greasy for my taste.

Adored it, all of us. Great on romaine with some nuts - amazing. Very dietetic, since you don't need much of it, it's so strong. I used an immersion blender so skipped all the chopping, and it worked beautifully. Added some rice vinegar as per the recommendations, used regular mustard since I didn't have dijon in the house- it was fantastic, making it again now! Dumped some of it on frozen peas and baked it with a little water - also fantastic.

I loved this recipe! The lemon juice was amazing! The only thing I added/changed was added 4 teaspoons of sugar. Also, I used canola oil instead of olive. I used Tamari instead of soy sauce for richer flavor.

I really enjoyed this recipe!! It had great flavor and it tasted a lot like the Japanese restaurants I've been to! I used the sesame oil (oly about1/4 cup), 2 tblsp rice vinegar and just 2 garlic cloves and it was wonderful!! It had a more liquid consistancy but it could be due to me not being the most skilled mincer. I used the extra garlic and ginger along with some dijon, honey and rice vinegar and put it on some chicken and cooked it on a hot pan hibachi style and it was the BEST chicken I have ever made!!

As others have stated before, the dressing is very bitter. I would suggest adding the sugar to bring about a more sweet taste..also I added 2 dollops of mayo, this made the dressing more creamier! Overall, it had the taste of the traditional ginger dressing you would find at the Japanese Houses!!

Joy and I absolutely love this style of dressing, I find it best served with a sweetened fried chip as well as a salad. A nice ripe tomato slice helps bring out the flavor. When I made this for Joy, her eyes lit up with excitement, I couldn't have been happier with this kind of flavor in a oriental dressing.

Thanks to all the other reviewers I put together an amazing dressing. Thank you all and Paula, thank you! This is what I did: 1/2 tsp Mongolian Fire Whack Oil, 3/4 c olive oil, 1/4 c sesame oil, 1/4 c fresh lemon juice, 1/3c fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp fresh minced garlic, 2 tbsp fresh minced ginger, 1/2 c fresh minced carrot, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 c soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sugar. It took a lot longer to prepare because of all the mincing of the carrots and ginger, but it was SO WORTH IT!!!!!! I have already added this recipe to my box of favorites. THANKS TO ALL!!!
