Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sugar-free sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 teaspoon Miso paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Start by toasting the sesame seeds. Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until well combined.
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and miso paste to the bowl. Whisk again until the mixture is smooth and the miso is completely dissolved.
Stir in the sugar-free sweetener, toasted sesame seeds, and chili flakes, if using. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a small jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to marry. Shake well before each use.
Serve the dressing as a salad dressing, a marinade for meats, or a finishing sauce for roasted vegetables.
