Step 1
Peel the carrot and ginger, and roughly chop the carrot, ginger, and onion into small, manageable pieces.

In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped carrot, ginger, onion, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, vegetable oil, sugar, water, and the optional white miso paste.
Step 3
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. This may take 1–2 minutes, depending on your blender.
Step 4
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed (e.g., add a bit more sugar for sweetness or soy sauce for saltiness).
