In a tall sided container, like a quart container, add the ginger, miso, garlic, shallot, and soy sauce. Blend until finely puréed.
1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon white miso, 3 garlic cloves, 1 small shallot, 3 tablespoons soy sauce
Add the maple syrup and rice wine vinegar and blend until combined.
6 tablespoons maple syrup, ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
With the blender running, slowly pour the olive oil into the container to emulsify the oil with the other ingredients. Blend for about 10-15 seconds after adding all the oil. Transfer to an air tight storage container in the refrigerator.
½ cup olive oil
Notes
This recipe can almost be made in a food processor or just by hand with a whisk. If using a food processor, make sure the garlic and shallot are finely minced before adding any liquids.
If using a whisk, minced the garlic and shallot as finely as possible, and make sure to whisk constantly while slowly pouring the olive oil.
Store in an air tight container in a refrigerator for up to 4 to 6 weeks.
