Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or honey, for a bit of sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (for creaminess)
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar. Whisk together until well combined.
- Add in the toasted sesame seeds, grated ginger, and minced garlic, continuing to whisk to incorporate all the flavors.
- Fold in the mayonnaise until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Adjust the thickness according to your preference; if desired, you can add a bit of water to thin it out.
- Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as necessary. You may want to add a little more soy sauce or sugar based on your taste preferences.
- Let the dressing sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before using. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
