This sesame salad dressing is inspired by the signature salad served at Jojoen, a well-known Japanese yakiniku restaurant renowned for its high-quality grilled meats and carefully crafted flavours. One of the defining features of this dressing is that it contains no vinegar, allowing the natural sweetness and umami of vegetables to stand out without sharp acidity.

Based on Jojoen’s in-restaurant dressing that is freshly blended to order, this version is adapted for home use with a soy sauce base enhanced by roasted sesame and sesame paste, adding depth, aroma, and richness.

Simply toss with lettuce and cucumber to enjoy a uniquely addictive flavour, or use it as a sauce for tofu, steamed chicken, or other light dishes.
