Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Sugar-free sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 teaspoon Miso paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Start by toasting the sesame seeds. Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until well combined.

Step 3

Add the olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and miso paste to the bowl. Whisk again until the mixture is smooth and the miso is completely dissolved.

Step 4

Stir in the sugar-free sweetener, toasted sesame seeds, and chili flakes, if using. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference.

Step 5

Transfer the dressing to a small jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.

Step 6

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to marry. Shake well before each use.

Step 7

Serve the dressing as a salad dressing, a marinade for meats, or a finishing sauce for roasted vegetables.
