Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger until you have approximately 1 teaspoon. Mince the garlic clove into very fine pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame seeds, and water. Whisk everything together until fully combined.
Add a pinch of black pepper, to taste, for subtle heat and seasoning. Whisk one final time.
Taste and adjust the balance of flavors if needed. For a saltier taste, add more soy sauce. For more sweetness, add a touch more honey.
Transfer the dressing to a small jar or bottle with a lid. Shake well before serving to ensure the ingredients stay mixed.
Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
