Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Liquid stevia (optional, to taste)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your mise en place: grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic clove. This will ensure everything is ready for a seamless preparation process.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce and rice vinegar. Whisk them together well to start building the base of your dressing with a balanced umami and tangy flavor.

Step 3

Add the sesame oil and olive oil to the mixture. Whisk again until the oils are well incorporated, forming a cohesive dressing base.

Step 4

Squeeze in the lime juice and add the freshly grated ginger and minced garlic to the bowl. Continuously whisk to ensure these aromatic ingredients are evenly distributed, enhancing the dressing's depth of flavor.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the sesame seeds for a nutty accent and visual interest. Stir them in gently.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and add liquid stevia if you prefer a hint of sweetness. Adjust according to your taste, starting with a small amount and adding more if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid if you plan to store it. Shake well before each use to ensure the ingredients are well mixed every time you dress your salad.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together for a more robust taste.
