Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (such as canola or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved into the mixture.
Add the freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and Sriracha (if using) into the bowl. Whisk to evenly incorporate the aromatics.
Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil while continuously whisking to help emulsify the dressing for a smooth consistency.
Sprinkle in the toasted sesame seeds and give the dressing one final stir to distribute them evenly.
Taste the dressing and adjust the flavors as needed by adding a pinch of salt or a little more honey for sweetness.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or stir well before using.
