Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by dry-roasting the sesame seeds. In a small skillet over medium heat, add the sesame seeds and stir continuously for about 4-5 minutes or until they become golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Once roasted, remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
Step 2
In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, olive oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the roasted sesame seeds to the mixture.
Step 4
Pour in the tablespoon of water to adjust the thickness of the dressing. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Taste the dressing and adjust any seasoning to your liking. If a little more sweetness is needed, add a touch more honey.
Step 6
Once the dressing is well mixed, let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Step 7
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
