   • Gather all your ingredients: rice vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, Umeboshi plum paste, and Umeboshi plums.

2. Blend the Ingredients:

   • In a blender or food processor, combine the rice vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, Umeboshi plum paste, and the Umeboshi plums (pit removed if necessary).

3. Puree Until Smooth:

   • Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth consistency. The Umeboshi plums should break down completely to incorporate their flavor evenly into the vinaigrette.

4. Adjust Consistency (if needed):

   • If the vinaigrette seems too thick, you can add a small amount of water, a teaspoon at a time, and blend again until desired consistency is reached.

5. Taste and Adjust Seasoning:

   • Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding a bit more sugar or vinegar, according to your preference.

6. Serve:

   • Use immediately over blanched bean sprouts or your favorite salad. Alternatively, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips for Serving:

• This Umeboshi vinaigrette pairs exceptionally well with blanched bean sprouts, enhancing their natural flavors with its tangy and slightly salty profile.
• Drizzle over a simple green salad or use as a marinade for grilled vegetables for added depth of flavor.
