Japanese Salad Dressing

OMG… I am missing Japan like crazy right now. This happens from time to time. You see, between the years I spent living in Japan and the fact that I have just come back from 2 weeks showing my family the highlights of this amazing country,  there is a real hold the land of the rising sun has on me. Japanese culture is so much a part of my life and the trip was so easy, even with my 6-year old as we eat so much Japanese food at home and when we go out too. Watch out for a plethora of Japanese inspired recipes over the next weeks but for today, I’ll give you an easy one to make, Japanese Salad Dressing. 

This Japanese Salad dressing really hits the spot. This is the ubiquitous restaurant style dressing you get on your starter salad with all your kaiseki meals in Japan. It’s delicious, super easy to make and, if you’re like me, it’s a comforting reminder of home.

Goma dressing

Goma salad dressing is hugely popular in Japan. It’s perfect to make salads tasty. 

I’ve lost count of the number of times someone has asked me for the recipe for this. Here in London, Japanese sesame (goma) salad dressing is to hard to find and expensive to buy in Asian supermarkets.

This recipe shows how quick, easy and cheap it is and I guarantee you won’t be able to tell the difference. By the way, ‘goma’ means sesame in Japanese. This rich dressing can make a plain salad really come to life and is packed full of nutritious goodness.
