🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 2 tablespoons White miso paste
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (such as canola or grapeseed)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 clove Garlic, finely grated
• 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper

📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, Dijon mustard, and rice vinegar until smooth and well incorporated.

2. Add the honey (or maple syrup), soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated garlic to the bowl. Continue whisking until fully combined.

3. Slowly drizzle in the neutral oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing.

4. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. The dressing should be pourable but not too thin.

5. Season with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting any ingredients as needed (e.g., more vinegar for tang or honey for sweetness).

6. Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before serving.
