Here's my take on the hibachi restaurant salad dressing recipe, a light and flavorful blend of umami-rich ingredients. It requires hardly any cooking, simply a quick toasting of the sesame seeds and whisking together of the elements. Use with any salad, from simple salad greens to a shredded carrot and cabbage salad.
