You’ve probably tried this Japanese sesame dressing while dining out at Japanese restaurants. It’s called JAPANESE GOMA DRESSING easy, tasty, versatile recipe.

 

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

1. About 3 to 4 tsp of roasted sesame powder – see how to make below
2. 2 tsp soya sauce
3. 1 or 2 tsp sesame oil
4. 1 tbsp grapeseed oil
5. 1 tsp brown sugar or bit less if you like
6. water and lemon juice to your taste and consistency
7. chill oil optional to your taste
8. 1 tsp chopped garlic 
9. 1 tsp chopped onion

HOW TO MAKE THE JAPANESE SESAME DRESSING

1. dry roast the sesame seeds till lightly golden in a wok and shake the pan to prevent burning
2. whizz to a powder when the seeds are cool – easy in a thermomix. Keep this mixture of roasted, powdered sesame seeds in an airtight jar, then use a little whenever you make the dressing/marinade. 
3. add remaining ingredients and whizz up till you get to your desired consistency adding a little more or less water as you like. Do taste as you go along.

TOP TIP

Once you’ve whizzed up your toasted sesame seeds, keep them in an air tight jar and make up little amounts of this dressing to use as you need it just adding teaspoons of the other ingredients. Mix in a small jar of a nutri bullet.

HOW TO USE IT

1. Try as a salad dressing on fresh spinach or salad leaves as we have above
2. We’ve used it as a marinade for roast chicken if you add smoked paprika, chilli and garlic to your dressing
3. As a sauce as Akira Back has done below

 

 

We loved how Akira Back at the W on the Palm Jumeirah used it for their vegetarian spinach rolls dish.
