Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon water (to thin)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and measuring tools. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better blending.
- Peel and finely mince the garlic clove using a sharp knife or microplane grater to create a smooth, fine texture.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the tahini as the creamy base. Tahini should be well-stirred before measuring to ensure even consistency.
- Pour the soy sauce directly into the tahini, whisking slowly to begin incorporating the liquids.
- Add rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey to the mixture. The honey will help balance the savory and tangy flavors.
- Incorporate the minced garlic, stirring thoroughly to distribute evenly throughout the dressing.
- Gradually add water, starting with 1 tablespoon, and whisk until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Add more water if needed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if required, potentially adding a pinch of salt or extra honey to balance flavors.
- Transfer the dressing to a sealed container or jar. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
- Before serving, give the dressing a quick whisk to re-emulsify any separated ingredients.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother blending and better flavor integration.
- Whisk Slowly: When combining tahini with liquid ingredients, whisk gradually to prevent separation and achieve a creamy consistency.
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to adjust the honey or add a touch of sriracha for extra heat, making this dressing uniquely yours.
- Storage Secrets: This dressing can be refrigerated for up to 5-7 days in an airtight container. Always give it a good shake or whisk before serving.
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality tahini and toasted sesame oil for the most authentic and rich flavor profile.
- Consistency Check: If the dressing becomes too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired pourability.
