Ingredients
- ¼ cup sesame seeds or roasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated fresh
- ¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon tamari
- 5 teaspoons sesame oil
Instructions
- Toasting the sesame seeds: In a frying pan over low heat, stir the sesame seeds until they are lightly toasted. This process enhances their nutty flavor. If you have pre-toasted sesame seeds, you can skip this step.
- Grinding the sesame seeds: Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a spice grinder, blender, or mortar and pestle. Pulse or grind them until they form a coarse meal consistency.
- Preparing the ginger: Use a box grater or microplane to grate the ginger, or very finely mince it by hand.
- Combining the ingredients: In a bowl, add the ground sesame seeds, grated ginger, vegan mayo, rice vinegar, sugar, tamari (or alternative soy sauce), and sesame oil.
- Mixing the dressing: Stir all the ingredients until thoroughly combined, and the dressing has a smooth consistency. Take care to ensure that no lumps of sesame seed meal or ginger remain.

Notes
- Adjust the toasting time for the sesame seeds based on your preference, aiming for a light toasting without burning them.
- If a spice grinder or blender is not available, a mortar and pestle can be used to grind the sesame seeds.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. You can add more tamari, sugar, or rice vinegar to achieve the desired balance of flavors.
- Store the Goma dressing in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before using, give it a good stir to reincorporate any separated ingredients.
