Sesame dressing is a delicious and versatile condiment that can elevate the flavors of various dishes, from salads to grilled meats. With its perfect balance of salty, tangy, and slightly sweet notes, this dressing is incredibly easy to make and can be prepared with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 1/4 cup (60g) of soy sauce and pour it into a bowl.
- Squeeze or measure out 2 tablespoons (30g) of fresh lime juice.
- Measure 2 teaspoons (6g) of brown sugar.
- Measure 1 teaspoon (5g) of sesame oil.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce and lime juice.
- Add the brown sugar to the mixture and stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. This may take a minute or two.
- Finally, add the sesame oil to the bowl and mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
- Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more lime juice for extra tang or a little more sugar if you prefer a sweeter dressing.
- Serve the sesame dressing immediately over your favorite salad, grilled vegetables, or as a dip.
- Alternatively, transfer it to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. The dressing will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
- If stored, shake well before using, as the ingredients may separate over time.
Tips:
- Use fresh lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice will provide a more vibrant and tangy flavor compared to bottled lime juice.
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter dressing, you can add more brown sugar to taste.
- Mix thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are well combined to create a smooth and consistent dressing. A small whisk or fork works well for this.
- Store properly: Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before each use as some separation may occur.
Creating your own sesame dressing at home is a straightforward process that enhances the flavor profile of many dishes. By following these tips and using quality ingredients, you can enjoy a fresh and flavorful dressing that's sure to impress. Remember, you can always adjust the proportions to suit your personal taste.
