These vibrant, zippy sauces add zing to everything from slaws to salads. The miso‑ginger slaw is refreshing and tangy, while the peanut‑ginger dressing brings deep, nutty warmth to salad bowls.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (for peanut‑ginger version)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (for slaw)
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, and garlic.
  2. For the miso‑ginger slaw, toss shredded cabbage, carrot, and cilantro with half the dressing. Let sit 10 minutes to marinate.
  3. For the peanut‑ginger dressing, whisk in peanut butter and soy sauce to the remaining dressing. Add water a tablespoon at a time until pourable.
