Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, add the wasabi paste, lime juice, soy sauce, and honey. Whisk until well combined.
Step 2
Gradually pour in the sesame oil and neutral oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth emulsion.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to evenly incorporate the seasonings.
Step 4
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed—for more tang, add an extra splash of lime juice; for more heat, add a small amount of additional wasabi paste.
Step 5
Transfer the dressing to a jar or an airtight container if not using immediately.
Step 6
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Shake or stir before using.
