Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Crush Sesame Seeds: Use a pestle and mortar to gently crush and grind the toasted sesame seeds. It’s okay to leave some seeds partially intact for texture.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed sesame seeds, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Stir well to blend all ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Add Sesame Oil: Drizzle in the toasted sesame oil and stir again to incorporate fully into the dressing.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Sample the dressing and adjust the ingredients to your preference. If you find the dressing too thick, add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of water to reach your desired consistency.

Notes

  • To toast sesame seeds, dry roast them in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant and slightly golden, stirring frequently.
  • Adjust the sweetness and acidity by varying honey and rice vinegar quantities to suit your taste.
  • This dressing pairs well with green salads, grain bowls, grilled vegetables, and cold noodle dishes.
  • Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
