How to Make Sesame Soy Dressing

  1. In a small glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), toasted sesame seeds, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds, or until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is emulsified.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed – you may wish to add more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tartness, or soy sauce for saltiness.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step is optional, but recommended for best taste.
  5. Bring to room temperature before serving. Use as a dressing or marinade. Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one month.
