- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 clove Grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and vegetable oil. Whisk well to blend the liquids together.
Add the grated garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and whisk again until smooth.
Stir in the cooled toasted sesame seeds to incorporate them evenly throughout the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed (add a bit more soy sauce for saltiness, honey for sweetness, or rice vinegar for tang).
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, and shake well before each use.
