Hi All,

When I was a kid, my first experience with oriental salad dressing was at
the Benihana in Los Angeles in roughly 1972. I thought it was absolutely
marvelous. Over the last 25 years, I've eaten in more than 500 japanese
restaurants and all had some variant of the original Benihana. None of them
tasted quite the same or as good, in my opinion. Some years ago, I
discovered the original recipe on internet and made it at home. It was
exactly as I remembered it! You'll be surprised that some of the
ingredients are common American items. Please try it. Here it is. v/r
Doug from Massachusetts.

1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper


1. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high speed for about 30
seconds or until all of the ginger is well-pureed.
