Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Combine the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
  • Slowly incorporate the vegetable oil and sesame oil while continuously whisking. The dressing should be uniform and thoroughly mixed.
  • Adjust the seasoning as necessary after tasting the dressing. If the dressing is too salty, add more honey or rice vinegar to counteract the saltiness.
  • Before using, chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes

Notes

  • Peanut Butter Variation. Peanut butter’s creamy texture and nutty flavor are a perfect match for the dressing’s other components. If you prefer a sweeter, creamier dressing, this version is for you.
  • Spicy Variation. If you like things spicy, spice up the dressing with some chili flakes or hot sauce. This will give your salad an extra layer of flavor thanks to the spicy kick it will receive.
  • Orange Variation. To give the dressing a bright citrus taste that goes well with the other components, try adding some freshly squeezed orange juice. Those who prefer a more tart, citrusy flavor will appreciate this variant.
  • Hoisin Variation. Hoisin sauce, a staple in Chinese cooking, can be used to enhance the dressing’s sweet and savory notes. If you prefer a more robust dressing, this version is for you.
  • Ginger-Sesame Variation. Those who enjoy bold and flavorful dressings will appreciate the combination of fresh ginger and sesame oil in the dressing, which will give it a nutty and spicy flavor. Those seeking a more subtle Asian twist on their salad will appreciate this adaptation.
