Ingredients

¾ cup vegetable oil
4½ tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2¼ tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 to 3 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, to taste
3¾ tablespoons honey
⅓ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
⅓ teaspoon sriracha hot sauce

Instructions

Combine ¾ cup vegetable oil, 4½ tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 2¼ tablespoons tamari or soy sauce, 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 to 3 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, 3¾ tablespoons honey, ⅓ teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and ⅓ teaspoon sriracha hot sauce in the immersion blender container (if you do not have an immersion blender, you may use a regular blender).
Blend for 1-2 minutes until the mixture has emulsified into a smooth consistency.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

If you do not have an immersion blender, you can use a full-size blender to mix the salad dressing. I do not recommend using a whisk for mixing, as it will be difficult to get it to the point of emulsifying. Immersion blenders are wonderful for safely blending both hot and cold foods, and cleanup is much quicker than with a full-size blender.
