Chinese Salad Dressing

This Chinese Salad Dressing combines rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, canola oil, soy sauce, fresh grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil, creating a balanced mix of tangy, sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors. The dressing is smooth and richly layered, making it suitable for drizzling over salads or using as a dipping sauce. Preparing it by whisking all ingredients together yields a well-emulsified, flavorful sauce.

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, hoisin sauce, canola oil, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil until combined.

Notes

  • Rice vinegar can be labeled as "rice wine vinegar" but is the same product.
  • Hoisin sauce is a sweet and salty Chinese barbecue sauce found in the Asian aisle.
  • Use canola or any neutral oil like grapeseed or light olive oil for balance.
  • Fresh grated ginger is essential — powdered ginger does not provide the same flavor.
  • Store leftover dressing covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
