The fantastic Ginger dressing

Ever go to a Japanese restaurant and get the salad with the ginger dressing? Do you love that dressing? Well I found a recipe for it, and it is amazing. Something about it hits my tongue in a fantastic way....

Ginger Soy Vinaigrette

Mash together until a paste is formed:
1 peeled garlic clove
2 to 3 pinches of salt

Remove to a small food processor or blender. Add and puree:
1/4 c rice vinegar
1/4 c minced shallots (onions are okay too)
2 tbsp minched peeled fresh ginger
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 teaspon toasted sesame oil
salt to taste
hot red pepper (or oil) to taste

With machine running, slowly pour through the feed tube and process until smooth (aka emulsify the dressing :)
1/2 cup peanut or vegetavle oil

Use right away or cover and refrigerate.
