- Add sesame seeds to a dry pan and heat on medium-high. Toast sesame seeds for a couple of minutes, or until they turn slightly golden, then transfer them to a mortar. Keep the heat on the pan and add neutral oil to heat until it’s hot.
- Meanwhile, grind sesame seeds using the mortar and pestle until it’s coarsely ground.
- Add the remaining ingredients to a mortar except for the honey, sesame oil, & Kewpie Japanese mayo.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully pour oil into the mortar and allow the ingredients to sizzle.

Notes
- Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container and mix well before using.
- Neutral Oil: I highly recommend using a neutral oil, such as grapeseed, avocado, or vegetable oil, so it doesn't alter the flavor of the dressing.
- Miso Paste: Miso paste can be easily found at local Asian or Japanese markets in the refrigerated section. I prefer going for the low-sodium version so I have more control over the saltiness. If regular miso paste is only available, you can add a little less then add more miso or soy sauce if more salt is needed. Remember, it's easier to add more!
- Storage: Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container and mix well before using.
