This dressing balances toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, and a touch of soy sauce into a rich, nutty base lightly sweetened with honey. It coats crisp greens, cold noodles, or steamed vegetables evenly thanks to its creamy consistency. Whisked together in minutes, it keeps well in the fridge for quick weeknight salads.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed to thin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey until smooth.

  2. Whisk in the grated ginger and minced garlic until evenly incorporated.

  3. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the dressing reaches a pourable, creamy consistency.

  4. Stir in the toasted sesame seeds and white pepper.

  5. Transfer the dressing to a sealed jar and refrigerate until ready to use, at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
