Build Asian Orange Vinaigrette With Ginger Step by Step
  1. Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients - Collect all the ingredients listed above and ensure you have everything ready to go.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Orange and Ginger - Zest the orange with a microplane or zester, then juice half of the orange using a citrus juicer. Next, finely grate the fresh ginger until you have about a teaspoon.
  3. Step 3: Combine Ingredients - In a bowl, combine the orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, grated ginger, seasoned rice vinegar, honey, and sea salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  4. Step 4: Add the Oil - Slowly drizzle in the light vegetable oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the vinaigrette. This will create a smooth and creamy texture.
  5. Step 5: Taste and Adjust - Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit more honey for sweetness or more vinegar for acidity, depending on your preference.
  6. Step 6: Serve or Store - You can use the vinaigrette immediately or store it in a jar in the refrigerator for later use. Shake well before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor; bottled juice can be less flavorful.
