Toasted Sesame & Ginger Dressing/Marinade
This recipe provides a unique flavor profile that can be used again and again in a myriad of different culinary applications. I originally designed this as a salad dressing but found it to be a great sauce and/or marinade!

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Let sit in the fridge for a couple hour so the flavors can mesh together.
When sautéing mushrooms cook the mushrooms until the release their liquid, then add 2 Tbsp of the dressing (per 1/2 lbs of mushrooms) and stir-in until fully absorbed.
