Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon optional chili flakes
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Whisk together until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
Slowly drizzle in the canola oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth emulsion.
Stir in the toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch of salt or more honey for sweetness as desired.
Transfer the dressing to a sealable jar or container and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately over a fresh salad, use as a marinade for proteins, or as a dipping sauce for veggies or dumplings.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
