Exquisite Oriental Dressing for Welcoming Guests
Elevate Your Housewarming Party with a Beautiful Wreath Salad and Homemade Oriental Dressing
Planning a special meal for guests and looking for the perfect salad? I used to think about how to create a wonderful salad to accompany dishes like Mille-feuille Nabe, which led me to create the beautiful ‘Wreath Salad’. The beauty of a Wreath Salad is that you simply need to leave the center open, making it surprisingly easy to prepare. Yet, its elegant presentation always earns rave reviews from guests! Here’s how to make the perfect Oriental dressing to complement this stunning salad.
Oriental Dressing Ingredients- Soy sauce, 3 Tbsp
- Oligosaccharide (or corn syrup), 2 Tbsp
- Vinegar, 1 Tbsp
- Minced garlic, 1 Tbsp
- Black pepper, a pinch
- Olive oil, 3 Tbsp
- Minced onion, 3 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by finely mincing the onion. You’ll need about 3 tablespoons, which is roughly 3 heaping tablespoons using a regular eating spoon. Mincing the onion very finely will contribute to a smoother, more integrated flavor in your dressing.
Step 2
Now, let’s create the dressing! In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oligosaccharide for a touch of sweetness, 1 tablespoon of vinegar for brightness, 3 tablespoons of olive oil for richness, the 3 tablespoons of finely minced onion, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk vigorously with a whisk or spoon until all the ingredients are well emulsified and thoroughly combined. For an extra nutty aroma and flavor, consider adding 1 teaspoon of sesame oil or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Step 3
This perfectly balanced Oriental dressing is not only ideal for Wreath Salads but also pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, fish dishes, or various stir-fries. The next time you’re preparing a meal for guests or planning a housewarming party, be sure to include this Wreath Salad with its delicious homemade Oriental dressing alongside your Mille-feuille Nabe. Your guests will surely be impressed by your thoughtful and delicious spread!
