Kewpie Roasted Garlic Onion Dressing & Sauce
What it is
This is a versatile condiment that combines the savory depth of roasted garlic with the sweet pungency of onions. It offers a rich, umami-forward flavor profile with a smooth texture. It can be used as a dressing for salads or as a sauce to enhance cooked dishes. The roasting process mellows the sharpness of the raw ingredients, creating a more complex and appealing taste.
