Whisk together dressing ingredients in a jar or small bowl: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Shake well to combine.
