There are plenty of recipes for Japanese ginger salad dressing online. Benihana's salad dressing
recipe is famous -- reddish, kind of tangy and thick. That's not the one I want though. I tasted a
different version at a sushi restaurant called Ichiban in Hartford, CT. It had a yellowish-golden
color and the texture was as if there were tiny shavings of carrot in it;

When you say it wasn't smooth, then was it chunky with bits of veggies or more like creamed based

This one??

<begin paste> From Moosewood cooks at home. Less ginger is preferred by some.

1/2 shredded carrot 2 Table. mirin 2 Table. rice vinegar 1 Table. soy sauce (I use 'usukuchi' made
by Kikoman, a very very pale soy that is favoured in some parts of Japan...it makes the lightest
and prettiest result) 1 Table fresh grated gingerroot (more or less. I use more...but thats
strong)(for the tender, this can be left out)
