Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Soy sauce (low-sodium, gluten-free if necessary)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1.5 teaspoons Powdered monk fruit sweetener (or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted)
- 1/8 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water. Whisk until fully blended.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and powdered monk fruit sweetener. Stir well to dissolve the sweetener into the liquid.
Drizzle in the sesame oil and mix until well incorporated. The sesame oil will add a slightly nutty flavor to the dressing.
If you want a thicker dressing, sprinkle in the xanthan gum while whisking continuously to avoid clumping. Use sparingly to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the flavors as needed. You can add a bit more sweetener or vinegar depending on your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or a bottle with a lid for storage.
Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week and enjoy with salads, grilled vegetables, or as a marinade!
