In a small saucepan, combine the tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with water until dissolved to create a slurry.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry while whisking continuously.
Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the dressing thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
Optional: Stir in sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container and refrigerate for up to one week. Shake well before using.
