Instructions

  • Gather an 8-ounce (or larger) jar with a tight-fitting lid or a personal blender and the measured ingredients.
  • Add to the jar in this order: ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon tamari, 1 garlic clove (finely minced), 1 inch fresh ginger (finely minced), 1 teaspoon sriracha, and ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt. If you have a microplane, grate the garlic and ginger directly into the jar; otherwise finely mince them on a cutting board and add.
  • Secure the lid and shake the jar vigorously for about 20–30 seconds until the dressing is well combined and slightly emulsified. Alternatively, blend the ingredients in a personal blender for 10–20 seconds for a creamier texture.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust using the existing ingredients as needed: more honey for sweetness, more sriracha for heat, or a bit more tamari or salt for saltiness. After any adjustment, shake or blend again to combine.
  • Use the dressing immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If it thickens when chilled, let it come to room temperature briefly and shake well before serving.
