My favourite dressing to put on salads is sesame dressing, in particular, Japanese sesame dressing. It has such a delicious flavour that makes salad taste amazing. It’s an easy dressing to make and it can last in the fridge for up to a week! Plus it’s also healthy and doesn’t contain any of the bad preservatives and additives that store-bought dressing does!
I like to pack this dressing in a little container and take it to work then pour it over my salad at lunch, otherwise the salad goes soggy and the crispy noodles are no longer crispy. The dressing goes best with an asian chicken salad, but it also tastes great on just a plain salad with various vegetables and whatever other ingredients you have. I don’t know how well it would go with beef or fish because I’ve never tried it with those. It goes best with chicken I think. But you can definitely try the dressing on whatever salad you like. I hope you enjoy!
Japanese sesame dressing
Ingredients
- 2 tbs white sesame seed paste
- 1 tbs Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 tbs rice vinegar
- 1 tbs soy milk or milk
- 1/2 tbs mirin
- 1/2 tbs sugar
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp roasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix them well.
- I used Japanese motor to grind the roasted sesame seeds then add rest of the ingredients and mix.
Made this with Tahini but it was a little bitter so increased the sugar slightly. My son said it is better than the store-bought one 🙂
Thank you Richard and glad to know your son’s approval 😀
So yummy! I used kewpie and came out perfect!
If I don’t like mayonnaise, should I just leave it out or substitute w something else? Thanks!
Hi Jessy, No you can’t.
what is japanese mayonnaise and where to you get it?
thanks!
Hi KL, Mayonnaise made from egg yolk and oil, not from whole egg. I usually use Kewpie brand Japanese mayonnaise. You can get them from Asian/Japanese groceries or supermarket. It is popular mayonnaise nowadays, I can get it from major supermarket in Australia. Also you can get Kewpie Mayonaise
from Amazon
delicious!
thank you!
