Note

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The flavors will meld and intensify over time.

Shake or whisk well before serving, as the oils and liquids may separate after sitting.

This vinaigrette doubles as a great marinade for tofu, chicken, or seafood. Marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

For a milder ginger flavor, use grated ginger instead of minced.
