african desserts: Ginger Soy Dressing

Ginger Soy Dressing

I had a taste for teriyaki chicken and rice tonight.

I wanted to make up some Asian Slaw to go with it.

I searched "Asian Slaw" on Pinterest and found this recipe on a blog called "The Compound Eye of a Dragonfly."

After I read the recipe for the dressing I knew it was exactly what I was looking for!

We have these Mongolian Grill restaurants here called Hu Hot.

They have this yummy salad I LOVE to get when I go there, and this dressing tastes REALLY similar.

Tomorrow I will post the recipe for the slaw, but for now, here's the dressing!

Ginger Soy Dressing

the compound eye of a dragon fly

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1 Tablespoon low sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 Tablespoon peanut butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (I used Siracha)

1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1 clove minced garlic

I put all of the ingredients in a glass mason jar and shook it until the peanut butter was dissolved.

Place in refrigerator until ready to use.

Next time I am making a double batch to use as a marinade for chicken!

I think this would make an awesome stir fry sauce, too!
