Servings 8 people
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white sesame seeds toasted
  • 1/2 cup Japanese kewpie mayo substitute with regular mayo
  • 4 tsp sugar adjust to taste
  • 4 tsp low-sodium soy sauce if using regular soy sauce, reduce amount by half then adjust to taste
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar unseasoned
  • 2 1/2 tbsp roasted sesame oil

Instructions

  • Heat a shallow pan over medium-low heat. Add the sesame seeds and spread them out evenly across the pan. Toast for 3 to 5 minutes, constantly stirring to prevent the sesame seeds from burning. Once the sesame seeds are slightly browned and fragrant, transfer them to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind into a fine powder then transfer to a small mixing bowl.
  • In the bowl with the ground sesame seeds, add Japanese kewpie mayo, sugar, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix until the dressing is well combined. Be sure to taste and adjust according to your preferences. For example, if you prefer a sweeter dressing, just add a bit more sugar.
  • Serve and enjoy with your favorite salads!

How to Store

  • Transfer the dressing into a glass airtight container or jar. Store in the fridge for up to one week.
