Incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger into the mixture, ensuring they are well-distributed.

Step 6

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper according to taste.

Add the cooled toasted sesame seeds to the bowl and stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.

Step 8

Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid to store.

Step 9

Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before using, which will allow the flavors to meld together well.
