napa cabbage with carrot-ginger dressing recipe

Serves: 6-8
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • ⅛ to ¼ cup soy sauce (Sodium content between soy sauce brands can differ wildly. Add ⅛ cup first, then more if you think the dressing needs it.)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
  • 2 medium (about 8 ounces) carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
  • ½ medium onion (about 6 ounces), peeled and roughly chopped
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • one large head of Napa cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces. (Savoy works, as well as other cabbages. Cucumbers are a nice pairing for flavor but are sometimes too juicy and slick for the dressing to "hold on." The crevices in Napa are just about perfect for this dressing.)
Instructions
  1. Put everything into food processor and run until fully blended. I prefer a little chunk in my dressing, but almost smooth. Blend how you like it.
  2. Toss cabbage to coat with dressing and serve with more on side, if desired.
  3. Unused dressing keeps for two weeks in a tightly-lidded jar in the fridge. Give it a shake before using.
