Nona's Japanese Creamy Sesame Salad Dressing
My dad is very fond of a creamy sesame dressing found in japanese restaurant near him and has asked me if i can come up with something close to it. i tasted it, tasted it, and tasted it and came to a conclusion that it's a commercial based salad dressing with raw eggs, very sharp vinegar taste reminiscent of kewpie mayonnaise taste and something else i could not pinpoint. that salad dressing is good, but when you taste it by itself, i realize there were lots of stablizers, preservatives, and chemical taste that i did not like. but still, i had to come up with something for dad because he was paying $5 for a cup of this dressing and he was going through it quickly. this is my rendition and i think much tastier one that i am proud of. you can easily grind roasted sesame seeds in coffee grinder for 1 second or you can mortar and pestle. It should only be partially ground
