In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and vegetable oil.
Add the honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the bowl. Whisk together until the honey is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes for a touch of heat and whisk again to distribute evenly.
If desired, stir in the toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more honey for sweetness or a splash of rice vinegar for extra tanginess.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the dressing over your favorite salad, slaw, or noodle dish. Shake or stir before each use as separation may occur.
