Notes

  1. Choose Quality Ingredients: Use organic tahini and miso paste for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
  2. Use a Spoon: Tahini is hard to handle when it comes to whisking. Break it up with a spoon first to ensure there are no lumps before you shake or whisk.
  3. Customize to Taste: Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to taste. You can also add lemon zest for extra flavor.
  4. Store Properly: Keep the dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  5. Vinegar: Rice vinegar is fine. If you want fruity flavors, use apple cider vinegar.
  6. Soy sauce: I prefer light soy sauce since there's already lot of umami flavor from miso.
  7. Toasted sesame oil: If you can't find the toasted version, just warm up the sesame oil for a couple of minutes until you get a nutty aroma.
