Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, add the wasabi paste, lime juice, soy sauce, and honey. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually pour in the sesame oil and neutral oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth emulsion.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to evenly incorporate the seasonings.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed—for more tang, add an extra splash of lime juice; for more heat, add a small amount of additional wasabi paste.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or an airtight container if not using immediately.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Shake or stir before using.
