Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., canola or grapeseed oil)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and neutral oil.
Add in the honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame seeds, and ground black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously with a fork or shake the jar until the mixture is well emulsified and smooth.
Check the consistency and taste the vinaigrette. If desired, add the optional water, one teaspoon at a time, to thin it out to your liking.
Adjust seasoning as needed. You can add a pinch more honey for sweetness or a few extra drops of sesame oil for a richer nutty flavor.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk again before using, as separation is natural.
