Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, agave, or sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, very finely minced or grated (or ginger paste)
- 1 large garlic clove, finely minced (or garlic paste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or a squirt of sriracha)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small jar or bowl: olive oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.
- Whisk well or (even easier) seal the jar and shake it like you mean it until everything’s combined.
- Taste and tweak as you go—add more ginger, syrup, or chili if you’re feeling it.
- Use right away or store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Always shake before pouring.
Notes
Use fresh ginger and garlic for max flavor. Let it sit at room temp before serving if it thickens. Great for meal prep—double the batch!
