Notes
- If you make a small batch for 2 people, you can use a Microplane grater to grate the ginger, garlic, onion and use a mortar and pestle to crush the sesame seeds. If you make a large batch, it is quicker to use a food processor or blender to pulse all the ingredients to make the dressing.
- I recommend using young ginger to make the dressing, because old/mature ginger tends to be spicier with some bitterness, which can be unpleasant to eat.
- You can try romaine or shredded green cabbage instead of iceberg. Also feel free to add some cucumber, cherry tomatoes or sliced red radish.
