looking for the reliable sesame dressing?

I’ve got you. This dressing is slightly sweet, toasty and nutty with some ginger and garlic flair. And if you keep a well stocked fridge and pantry of some standard asian ingredients, you’re already ahead of the game.

Similar to my sesame chicken recipe I posted yesterday, it calls for toasted sesame oil, coconut aminos, ginger and garlic (to name a few) and one of my not-so-secret tips to creating speedy and unfussy dressing and marinades is to use pre-grated fresh ginger and garlic. You can find these in the produce section of your grocery store.
