10 Easy & Delicious Japanese Dressings – Secret Recipe Reveal!

Vegetable salads are an important part of Japanese cuisine. This popular simple salad dressing is called Wafu which means “Japanese dressing.” It resembles a vinaigrette and comes in many different variations but always contains the three main ingredients: soy sauce rice wine vinegar and sugar.

Both rice vinegar and soy sauce are staples of Japanese cuisine. Rice vinegar is made from fermented rice. It has a slightly sweet mild flavor. It comes with and without spices. Seasoned rice vinegar is sweeter than unsweetened rice vinegar and usually contains sugar or a sweetener. Unseasoned rice vinegar is the better choice for a more neutral dressing but if a little sweetness will enhance the salad you are making use sweetened rice vinegar.

Japanese soy sauce called Shoyu differs from Chinese soy sauce both in ingredients and flavor. This recipe does not call for a specific type of soy sauce but the dressing will differ depending on the soy sauce you use.
