Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by toasting the sesame seeds. Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir them continuously for about 2-3 minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Set aside to cool.
Finely grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or a small grater.
Mince the garlic clove until it is very fine. You can also use a garlic press for convenience.
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the toasted sesame seeds, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper.
Whisk or shake the mixture vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined and the honey is dissolved.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you desire more sweetness, you can add a bit more honey. For more acidity, add a little extra rice vinegar.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or an airtight container and refrigerate. The dressing will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
Shake well before serving. Enjoy over your favorite salads, vegetables, or noodle dishes.
