Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 ounces tofu -- preferably silken
2 tablespoons chopped scallion -- white part, minced
1 garlic clove -- to 2 cloves
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 serrano pepper -- or jalapeno chilies, minced, or 1/2 teaspoon of favorite hot sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce -- or tamari
1 tablespoon sugar -- or maple syrup (2 tablespoons if using white wine instead of mirin)
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable stock -- or water, or as needed
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons minced cilantro

Combine the tofu, scallion, garlic, ginger, chilies, vinegar, mirin, soy
sauce, sesame oil, vegetable stock, salt and pepper in a blender and puree
until smooth. Thin the dressing to the desired consistency with additional
stock, if needed. Correct the seasoning, adding vinegar, sugar, soy or
salt.

Stir in the cilantro and serve.

Makes 2 1/2 cups (40 one-tablespoon servings).

AuthorNote: Ginger, scallion, and mirin give this dressing an Asian
accent. Mirin is a sweet rice wine from Japan. Look for it in Asian
markets and natural food stores. White wine mixed with sugar makes an
acceptable substitute.
