Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons roasted sesame seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum ((optional, to avoid separation))
• 1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
• 1 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
• 3 tablespoons agave, (mild honey, or sugar)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons A-1 Steak sauce, (worcestershire sauce, or Taiwanese black vinegar)
• 3/4 cup neutral oil, (such as canola or grapeseed)

Instructions

1. 1

   Using a mortar and pestle, pound the sesame seeds to crush them. Scrape into a bowl, then add the xanthan gum, if using.

2. 2

   Whisk in the vinegar to combine well. Then add the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine. If the ingredients separate, whisk in 1 or 2 pinches of xanthan gum. Use immediately or refrigerate up to 1 month. If needed, re-stir or whisk before using.
