• Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey until well combined.
• Step 2: Add the minced fresh ginger, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk to incorporate all the ingredients.
• Step 3: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more vinegar for tanginess, honey for sweetness, or ginger for a stronger flavor profile.
• Step 4: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
