1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

½ tsp toasted sesame seeds , crushed
½ tsp rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil and fill a large bowl with cold water and a handful of ice. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the sesame oil, soy sauce, sesame seeds, vinegar, sugar, garlic and pepper to taste, until the sugar has dissolved. Set the dressing aside.
