- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)

Instructions
Mince the garlic clove and grate the ginger using a fine grater, or finely chop them if you don’t have a grater.

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and neutral oil into the mixture. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
Stir in the toasted sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper, and mix everything together until well-incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more honey for sweetness or soy sauce for saltiness, if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a covered container or jar and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
