6 servings
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Chef's tipUse the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter. - 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2–4 tbsp water
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add the tahini, tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic-infused oil, toasted sesame oil, and grated ginger to a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth and fully combined.
- 2
Whisk in water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce reaches a pourable, lightly creamy consistency — it should flow off the whisk in a steady ribbon rather than clump or drip in thick drops. Two tablespoons typically produces a dipping-sauce thickness; four tablespoons produces a thinner drizzle.
