00:00Hi, I'm Yuto and today on Sudachi, I'm going to show you how to make a delicious and smooth Japanese
00:05-style carrot dressing.
00:06Let's get straight to it.
00:08Start by grabbing a heatproof bowl. I recommend a glass bowl like this.
00:13Add one small chopped carrot and quarter of a medium onion cut into the rough pieces,
00:18or in one tablespoon of water, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for about 2-3 minutes
00:25at 600W,
00:26or until you can pierce the carrot with a fork.
00:30I tried 2 minutes first but the carrot was still a little hard so I added another minute.
00:36It depends on the strength of your microwave and how small the pieces are cut.
00:41If you don't have a microwave, you can steam it for about 6-8 minutes instead.
00:46While we wait for them to cool, let's prepare the rest of the ingredients.
00:50Here I have the container for my mini food processor.
00:54I'm adding 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar,
01:022 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of apple juice.
01:06Now the carrot and onion.
01:08This dressing is a great way to add bonus vegetables to your salad.
01:12It's pretty healthy, the flavour is quite sweet and fruity from the vinegar, apple juice and honey.
01:18I've tried making it without cooking the vegetables and I didn't like the fibrous texture.
01:23Cooking them ensures the end result is smooth.
01:27Okay, once they're all in, seal the container and blitz until smooth.
01:40You might need to shake it or scrape the sides down once or twice to make sure all the pieces
01:45are incorporated into the dressing.
01:47Keep blitzing until it looks like this, then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 20-30 minutes before
01:54using.
01:56And that's it, delicious, smooth and creamy Japanese style carrot dressing.
02:01I'm serving it over a simple daikon salad, but it goes with so many vegetables.
02:06And great news, I've launched a free mobile app that makes following along with my recipes even easier.
02:12It's the perfect kitchen companion after watching my videos.
02:15You can access step-by-step instructions right on your phone while you cook.
