Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine all the ingredients.
If you prefer a thicker dressing, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of cold water to create a slurry, then slowly whisk it into the saucepan while stirring continuously.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Remove the dressing from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving for added texture and flavor.
