Goal

Learn a savory, nutty Asian-style dressing, a completely different flavor direction than the vinaigrettes.

Savory, nutty, and sharp — a completely different flavor direction from the European-style dressings in this course.

Makes about 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Steps

1. Combine the aromatics — Whisk rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey until the honey dissolves.
2. Add the oils — Whisk in the sesame oil and vegetable oil together until well combined.
3. Finish with sesame seeds — Stir in the sesame seeds just before serving.

Tip: Separates faster than other dressings since it has less emulsifying power — just give it a quick shake before serving.
