Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce, gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Granulated erythritol (or other low-carb sweetener)
- 1 clove Fresh garlic (grated or minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (lightly toasted)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or jar, combine toasted sesame oil, tamari, rice vinegar, and water. Whisk or shake to mix well.
Add granulated erythritol to the mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
Grate or mince the fresh garlic and ginger, then add them to the dressing. Mix thoroughly.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the sesame seeds until golden and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
Stir the toasted sesame seeds into the dressing, reserving a small pinch for garnish if desired.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning to your preference, such as adding a pinch of salt or more tamari for extra umami.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and shake before each use.
