This was an excellent salad dressing. Excellent! I made a salad of spinach,mushrooms, roasted chicken, tomatoes, and avocado and (gasp Toastettes and used Ming's excellent dressing. Wow, what a knockout! Just great. Thank you, Ming. I love your recipes and I too am sorry you lost the next iron chef competition so long ago. My recommendation to fellow food network foodies: look up Ming's recipes and give them a try. He, for some reason, is sadly under rated and dissed on this forum.

Ming, I am sorry you did not win the Next Iron Chef competition. Love your voice and your dimples. I really loved this dressing. Took a chance on it although it had not been reviewed yet. I didn't serve it with spinach and tofu, but used a romaine, daikon radish, red onion and mandarin orange combo with toasted walnuts on top. This was a great dressing and will now be my standard. It is so versatile that I can imagine it with a grilled chicken salad. I only wish I knew how to pickle my own ginger, since the bottled brand I used was overly sweet and not spicy enough. Thanks so much!!
