Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing & Marinade
What it is
This is a rich and savory dressing made with deeply roasted sesame seeds. It has a thick, creamy texture and a complex flavor profile that balances the nuttiness of sesame with a hint of sweetness and acidity. The roasting process intensifies the sesame's natural oils, creating a more robust and aromatic taste than standard sesame dressings. It is ready to use straight from the bottle, offering convenience for busy kitchens.

For salads, simply drizzle it over your favorite greens and vegetables. As a marinade, coat chicken, beef, or tofu generously and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking. It also works wonderfully as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, dumplings, or grilled skewers. In stir-fries, add it towards the end of cooking to coat vegetables and proteins, infusing them with its signature roasted sesame flavor. Its thickness ensures it clings well to food.
