DRESSINGS
Asian-Inspired Dressing
Savory, bright, and balanced with soy, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and a touch of sweetness. It works beautifully with salads, grain bowls, noodles, and stir-fries.
Instructions
-
In a bowl or jar, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, ginger, and garlic until well combined.
-
Stir in the sriracha or chili garlic sauce if using, sesame seeds, green onion, and black pepper.
-
Taste and adjust. Add more honey for sweetness, rice vinegar for tang, or sriracha for heat.
-
Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water and whisk again until the dressing reaches your preferred consistency.
-
Let the dressing sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the ginger, garlic, sesame, and green onion flavors can meld.
-
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Shake or stir well before serving.
Simple tip.
For extra depth, add a small splash of toasted sesame oil just before serving. A little goes a long way, so start with just a few drops.
Make it your own.
Add more sriracha for heat, extra ginger for a sharper bite, or a little additional honey for sweetness. You can also add fresh cilantro for another layer of flavor.
