Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons White miso paste
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Freshly grated ginger
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Optional sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, rice vinegar, and low-sodium soy sauce until smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the sesame oil while whisking to combine.
Add the honey (or maple syrup), freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic to the bowl. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Gradually whisk in the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Add more water if needed for a thinner texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (e.g., add a touch more soy sauce for saltiness or vinegar for tang).
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container for storage. Sprinkle optional sesame seeds over salads when serving, if desired.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or stir well before each use.
