Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place sesame seeds in a small frying pan and toast over medium-high heat while shaking pan to avoid burning (they burn easily). When they begin to pop, remove from heat.
Step 2
Reserve 2 teaspoons of seeds for sprinkling on salad and place the remaining seeds in a mortar and with a pestle, grind them roughly.
Step 3
Mash the miso into the ground seeds to form a thick paste.
Step 4
Add vinegar into the mixture and whisk in oil slowly until emulsified.
Step 5
Whisk again just before dressing the salad.
Step 6
Sprinkle the reserved seeds over salad.
