½ cup toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar use regular white vinegar if rice vinegar is not available
2 tablespoons soy sauce use tamari for gluten-free dressing
3 tablespoons maple syrup honey or agave nectar also works fine
1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
1 clove garlic minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon sriracha or any hot sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Combine all the ingredients in a mason jar.
Close the lid of the jar tightly and shake vigorously.
Check for salt. Add some additional salt if the salt from soy sauce is not enough for your taste.
Use the dressing as desired.

You can also blend the ingredients in a blender instead of a mason jar.

This recipe will give you approximately 1 cup of dressing. You can easily scale the recipe up or down.

To make this dressing creamy, add 2-3 tablespoon of cashew cream, peanut butter, or tahini to it.

Store the dressing in a non-reactive air-tight container or a mason jar for not more than 2-3 days.
