Instructions

Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan over low heat. Shake the pan constantly to prevent burning.
Remove once the seeds are golden and fragrant.
Grind the seeds with a mortar and pestle or use a food processor for a finer texture.
In a small bowl, mix the ground sesame seeds, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mayonnaise, and sugar.
Whisk all ingredients together until smooth.

Notes

You can substitute Japanese mayonnaise with regular mayonnaise, but the flavour will differ slightly.
For a gluten free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Use apple cider vinegar as a substitute for rice vinegar.
The finer you grind the sesame seeds, the smoother the dressing will be. A mortar and pestle gives it a rustic, grainy texture. Adjust the texture according to your own preference.
Be sure to thoroughly combine the mayonnaise, sesame oil, and rice vinegar for a smooth and consistent creamy dressing.
