A creamy, multipurpose miso dressing. Great on salads, vegetables, or whatever else your heart desires. The ingredients are more true to the Japanese style. Mirin gives the dressing a slightly sweeter, more complex taste, tofu gives the dressing a creamy texture, and the sesame oil adds a distinct Japanese flavor to the finish.

Ingredients

1 cup miso paste, or more to taste
1 cup soft tofu
1 cup vegetable oil
¾ cup water
¼ cup mirin
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
½ cup chopped green onions

Directions

Combine miso paste, tofu, vegetable oil, water, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic in a blender; blend until smooth.
Stir green onions into the blender; pulse briefly to distribute, not puree, in the dressing.

Cook's Notes:

The miso paste should be adjusted to preference. Some miso pastes are much saltier than other. Start with 1 cup and add more if necessary.

More tofu can be added if a creamier, thicker consistency is desired.
