In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved into the fluids.
Add the freshly grated ginger and minced garlic to the mixture. Whisk again to ensure the ingredients are well blended.
Squeeze the juice of one lime into the bowl. Whisk the mixture to combine the citrus flavor evenly.
Sprinkle the chili flakes, salt, and black pepper into the dressing. Adjust the amount of chili flakes to taste for preferred spiciness.
Continue whisking until all ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a smooth and homogenous dressing.
Gently fold in the toasted sesame seeds, allowing them to distribute evenly throughout for an added nutty crunch.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dressing into a serving container or a jar with a lid for storage.
Drizzle the dressing over your favorite salad just before serving. Stir or shake well if the dressing separates slightly over time.
