Blue Cheese Dressing
Ingredients
- 100 g sour cream
- 50 g blue cheese
- 150-200 g Japanese mayonnaise
- A tiny spoonful of grain mustard
- quarter clove of garlic finely minced
- salt and pepper
- A tiny spoonful of tonkatsu sauce
Instructions
It had been close to five years since I'd had blue
cheese dressing because I haven't been able to find it in my area of Japan, so I decided to make some. This version uses
tonkatsu sauce instead of Worscestershire sauce and Japanese mayo instead of
regular mayo. I made the substitution out of necessity and not totally based on
taste, but the result was quite good. Feel free to reverse the sub. Japanese mayo is made with rice wine vinegar and MSG so it has a slightly different taste although I've kind of forgotten what non-Japanese mayo tastes like having been without it for 5 years. Also I used fresh garlic, but perhaps garlic powder would be better - I ran out. But the resulting taste was a lot better than the store bought stuff I remember. Hope you like it too!
