Time 3m

Number Of Ingredients 10

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 ((Note 1))
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 ((Note 1))
1 tsp sugar ((any type) or 1 1/2 tsp honey)

Steps:

  • Place ingredients in a jar and shake well until sugar is dissolved. Adjust saltiness with salt and sweetness with sugar to taste.
  • Keep for up to 3 weeks, in the fridge (to be safe). Bring to room temp and shake well before use.
  • Single serving batch is enough for 3 - 4 cups of shredded cabbage / leafy greens i.e. a side salad for 4 people.
  • Big batch - my rule of thumb for how much dressing to use is generally 1 tbsp of dressing per 1 packed cup of shredded vegetables and 2 tsp per handful of leafy greens.

ASIAN SESAME DRESSING

My daughters and I had dinner at a Hu Hot restaurant awhile back. They have a wonderful Asian Sesame Dressing. I also bought an Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing by Kraft that is really good. I'm going to post two recipes I found on the internet to try. I sure hope one of them will be close to Kraft's or Hu Hot's recipe.

ASIAN STYLE SESAME DRESSING

Light and tasty dressing. I like to mix it with coleslaw mix, a can of pineapple chunks, some sesame seeds, green onions and boiled shrimp. It is also good on salad greens with some grilled chicken. The cooking time is the amount of time it should sit once mixed.
