What is the sweet dressing in salads served at Japanese restaurants?

Question:


I was wondering what the flavor of the light, sweet dressing typically served at Japanese restaurants is. I can't recall seeing it in a store, but if you have any recommendations, please let me know. Otherwise, is there a recipe for it?

Answer:


Sometimes, it's a house dressing or very simple to make - I do a quick one with
White miso paste, a couple of tablespoons full.
Rice wine vinegar - about a 1/4 cup
white sugar 1/4 cup
1 teaspoon full of sesame oil
Black pepper to taste
A splash of chili oil
A bit of fresh shredded ginger if you like.
Whisk all of this together to your liking. You might like sweeter or more tart
If you would like it creamy - add a dollop or so of mayonaise.
