Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium garlic cloves, smashed with the side of a knife
1 small shallot, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons shoyu or tamari
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon light miso paste
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 cup grapeseed, vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons toasted white or black sesame seeds

Steps:

Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.
