In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and water.
Add the stevia powder to the mixture, adjusting to taste. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Add the cooled toasted sesame seeds to the dressing mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or an airtight container. Shake well before using.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use.
