Preparation

Put all ingredients except salt and pepper into a food processor and pulse a few times to mince carrots. Then let machine run for a minute or so, until mixture is chunky-smooth. (If you want it smoother, use a blender.) Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.

The Japanese restaurant I worked in in the 1980's taught me to make this with the addition of a peeled apple. Fuji, or Granny Smith, which adds some sweetness and pectin, which keeps everything fresher longer. Also, a dash of mirin instead of sugar, if it's still bitter.
A delicious recipe with an excellent flavor. We didn't find the toasted sesame oil too heavy a flavor at all. One dinner, I realized I didn't have quite as many carrots in the fridge as I had thought, and so tossed in some chopped red bell pepper - yum! It thinned the dressing a little, and added a delicious subtle sweetness beyond the carrots. Now, I occasionally add some bell pepper for a change up.
The sesame oil was a little strong for me, I'd recommend using a tsp and increasing it slowly to taste. It hid the ginger and miso flavoring.
Yes, I’d cut the toasted sesame oil down a little and I added a dash more of rice vinegar. I cut up a fresh mango into the salad, which provided the balance of sweetness.
mwah Perfecto
Love this dressing! I could eat it just by itself. It's thick enough to be used as a dip.
