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.

- 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.
