Method

  1. Whisk the miso with the lime juice and rice vinegar until smooth and there are no lumps.

  2. Whisk in the sesame oil, neutral oil, maple syrup and ginger until emulsified.

  3. Loosen with warm water a spoonful at a time, until it coats the back of a spoon.

  4. Stir in the sesame seeds. Taste: it should be salty, sharp and just sweet enough. Add more lime or maple syrup to adjust.

  5. Keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week. Shake before using.

Serving ideas

Try it over shredded cabbage and carrot, smashed cucumber, soba noodles, roasted sweet potato or warm tofu.
