Instructions
The Method for Sesame Ginger Dressing
- Start by measuring out all of your ingredients. This will make the mixing process smooth and quick.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the 3 tablespoons of smooth tahini, 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar.
- Next, stir in 1 tablespoon of tamari, 1 heaping teaspoon of grated fresh ginger, and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey.
- Using a whisk or fork, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth. The tahini should become creamy and the dressing should start to thicken.
- Depending on your preference for thickness, gradually add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water, stirring constantly until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thick, continue adding water a tablespoon at a time.
- Give your dressing a taste and adjust the flavors as necessary. You may want to add a bit more honey for sweetness or more ginger for a zingier taste.
Notes
- Store dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- Whisk in a little water before using if the dressing thickens after storage.
- Substitute almond butter for tahini for a different nutty flavor.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to make this dressing fully vegan.
- Add water gradually to adjust the consistency to your liking.
