Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar (adjust to taste for sharpness)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp sugar (any type) or 1 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar (any type) or 1 1/2 tsp honey

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place all the dressing ingredients in a jar. Ensure the jar has a tight-fitting lid for shaking. Pour in soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, white vinegar, olive oil, and sugar or honey as specified.
  2. Shake Well: Shake the jar vigorously until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is well-blended. The dressing should appear emulsified with a smooth texture.
  3. Adjust to Taste: Taste the dressing and adjust the saltiness by adding salt if necessary, and sweetness by adding more sugar or honey if preferred.
  4. Store the Dressing: Keep the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks to maintain freshness and safety. Before using, bring it to room temperature and shake well again to remix any separated ingredients.
  5. Serving Suggestion: Use approximately 1 tablespoon of dressing per 1 packed cup of shredded vegetables or 2 teaspoons per handful of leafy greens. A single batch is sufficient for dressing 3-4 cups of shredded cabbage or leafy greens, serving about 4 people as a side salad.

Notes

  • Adjust the white vinegar amount based on your preference for sharpness or acidity.
  • Use any type of sugar or substitute honey for a natural sweetener.
  • Shake well before each use since the oil and vinegar may separate when stored.
  • The dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
  • Perfect as a dressing for Asian-inspired salads with cabbage, leafy greens, or shredded vegetables.
