Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
Instructions
Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the minced garlic, mayonnaise, and water to the mixture. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the ground white pepper for a subtle kick.
Once the toasted sesame seeds have cooled, grind them partially using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. This will release their oils and intensify their flavor, but leave some seeds whole for texture.
Fold the toasted sesame seeds into the dressing and mix well.
Taste the dressing and adjust saltiness or sweetness if needed. Add a splash of water if a thinner consistency is desired.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Shake well before using.
