Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or small grater. Set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic clove finely or use a garlic press.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and olive oil.
Add the honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the bowl. Whisk to combine until the honey is fully dissolved.
Mix in the toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if needed (e.g., add more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tang).
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container. Shake well before serving.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve over your favorite salads, use as a marinade, or drizzle over roasted vegetables.
