Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 stalk Green onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Whisk together until well incorporated.
Add the gochujang and honey to the bowl and whisk thoroughly to dissolve and evenly mix the paste into the vinaigrette base.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, ensuring it distributes evenly throughout the mixture.
Add the toasted sesame seeds, black pepper, and thinly sliced green onion, mixing gently to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more honey for sweetness, gochujang for heat, or vinegar for tanginess.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or container with a lid for easy storage. Shake well before use as ingredients may settle over time.
Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in a sealed container. Serve over salads, as a dipping sauce, or as a marinade.
