Ingredients

1 servings

1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for texture and flavor)
¼ cup toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
2 to 3 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
½ tsp Dijon mustard
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions

If using the optional sesame seeds, place them in a small skillet over medium-low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until they’re starting to turn golden, about two to three minutes. Remove from the heat.
In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the sesame oil, tamari, lime juice, 2 teaspoons of ginger, garlic, mustard, optional red pepper flakes, and optional toasted sesame seeds.
Whisk until the mixture is well blended. Taste, and if the flavor isn’t quite there yet, whisk in the tiniest pinch of salt. If you would like stronger ginger flavor, mix in the additional teaspoon now.
This dressing can be served immediately, but the flavors are even better after twenty minutes’ rest. Store the dressing in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week.
