Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by toasting the sesame seeds. Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir them continuously for about 2-3 minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Finely grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or a small grater.
Step 3
Mince the garlic clove until it is very fine. You can also use a garlic press for convenience.
Step 4
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the toasted sesame seeds, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 5
Whisk or shake the mixture vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined and the honey is dissolved.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you desire more sweetness, you can add a bit more honey. For more acidity, add a little extra rice vinegar.
Step 7
Transfer the dressing to a jar or an airtight container and refrigerate. The dressing will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
Step 8
Shake well before serving. Enjoy over your favorite salads, vegetables, or noodle dishes.
