In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine toasted sesame oil, coconut aminos, and rice vinegar.
Add freshly grated ginger and garlic powder to the liquid mixture.
Stir in the Dijon mustard until it's well incorporated. This will help emulsify the dressing.
Add sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper, and whisk everything together until fully combined.
If using a jar, securely fasten the lid and shake vigorously until the dressing is thoroughly mixed.
Taste the dressing and adjust salt or other seasonings if necessary.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
