Product Information

When the cabbage has tenderised, add salt and pepper to taste and stir fry for a further 2 - 3 minutes

Neutral Oil (Secret 2-for-1 Ingredient): The neutral oil in this recipe is used to thin out the dressing to your liking. More importantly, though, heating the oil to pour on top of the aromatics releases the ingredients’ natural oils for a more flavorful dressing! I highly recommend using neutral oils (my fave is grape seed) so it doesn’t overpower the flavor of the other ingredients. Tahini – Hulled and natural tahini works well, you can also use unhulled or roasted tahini for an extra nutty finish.I did not want to use tahini for this since I wanted a more of the rich nutty flavor of sesame to come through. Tahini is a paste made from ground toasted sesame seeds. In tahini, sesame seeds are usually finely ground then mixed with some type of oil to take it into a pasty consistency. Toast for a Deep Nuttiness: Even though you can buy toasted sesame seeds, it makes a world of difference if you toast them again before making the dressing. You’ll get much deeper flavors that are earthy, smoky, and nutty. DO NOT skip this step! Firmly tighten the cap, and shake well from side to side while holding the narrow part of bottle at the center. Sesame Oil– We love adding this for a little extra flavour, you can sub with homemade rayu chilli oil if you’d like to add heat along with the sesame oil. I use avocado oil cuz it's healthy and neutral. If you really want to you can probably use olive oil, but not the extra virgin one cuz that has a strong flavour. You can always try though!)

If you love a good creamy salad dressing this Japanese-inspired Roasted Sesame Dressing (AKA Goma Dressing) is a dressing that you don’t want to miss! It’s simple to make and a great standby for almost any crunchy leafy greens.Once the sesame dressing ingredients are mixed together, they should be stored in a clean airtight container in the refrigerator and used within 1 week.

If you love this dressing, I recommend blitzing a large batch of sesame seeds to a powder and storing them in a cool dry place for up to 3 months, or in the fridge for up to 6 months. With ground sesame seeds in your pantry, this recipe goes from 10 minutes to 1! Goma in Japanese means sesame. This popular dressing is bursting with deep and earthy flavors from the toasted sesame seeds. It’s the star ingredient and there’s nothing like it! Add 190 g Japanese mayonnaise, 40 ml rice vinegar, 35 g sugar, 40 ml soy sauce and 40 ml sesame oil. Blitz again until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Grind the sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle using a swirling motion until most of the seeds are broken up into a fine meal but you can still see some whole seeds. Note: You can also grind sesame seeds in a coffee grinder, but be careful not to over-grind. I would do little pulses. Add sesame seeds to a dry pan and heat on medium-high. Toast sesame seeds for a couple of minutes, or until they turn slightly golden, then transfer them to a mortar. Keep the heat on the pan and add neutral oil to heat until it’s hot.Welcome to I HEART UMAMI® where I share Healthy Asian Dinner Recipes - paleo, gluten-free, or low carb - that are big on flavor and easy to prep! Soy Sauce – Japanese soy sauce such as Kikkoman will work best here, as it’s less salty than other varieties. Otherwise, sub with regular soy sauce or tamari if you need. Lumpy Tahini? If your tahini is a little hard, you can try zapping it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to help soften it. If you’re still finding it lumpy when trying to combine, run the sauce through a sieve for an extra smooth and creamy result.
