Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons toasted white sesame seeds
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil* adjust to how thin you like your dressing
  • 1 garlic grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon mirin
  • 2 teaspoons low-sodium white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil roasted
  • 3 tablespoons Japanese mayo

Instructions

  • Add sesame seeds to a dry pan and heat on medium-high. Toast sesame seeds for a couple of minutes, or until they turn slightly golden, then transfer them to a mortar. Keep the heat on the pan and add neutral oil to heat until it’s hot.
  • Meanwhile, grind sesame seeds using the mortar and pestle until it’s coarsely ground.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to a mortar except for the honey, sesame oil, & Kewpie Japanese mayo.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully pour oil into the mortar and allow the ingredients to sizzle.
  • Mix in honey, sesame oil, & Kewpie Japanese mayo until creamy. Drizzle dressing over salad and enjoy!

Notes

  • Neutral Oil: I highly recommend using a neutral oil, such as grapeseed, avocado, or vegetable oil, so it doesn't alter the flavor of the dressing.
  • Miso Paste: Miso paste can be easily found at local Asian or Japanese markets in the refrigerated section. I prefer going for the low-sodium version so I have more control over the saltiness. If regular miso paste is only available, you can add a little less then add more miso or soy sauce if more salt is needed. Remember, it's easier to add more!
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container and mix well before using.
