Spicy dressing for cool crisp things


This is a mind blowing, can be sinus clearing, awesome dressing for celery and spring onions, or tossed though some noodles, spooned over steamed rice, really anything that needs a helping hand.

1 Tbsp Soy sauce (Japanese)
1 Tbsp Sesame oil
1 Tbsp Rice vinegar
1 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Chilli in oil*

Mix all together and store in a air tight jar until ready to use. Toss through some sliced celery and scallions topped with some roasted peanuts, makes a great refreshing side dish for a salty main.

* You can use just chilli oil, or fried chilli in oil, or chilli crisp. I make my own chilli oil, fill a jar about halfway with toasted chilli flakes (roast whole chilli in the oven until fragrant and blitz), top up with grapeseed oil, stir and bang to get rid of air pockets and fill up with oil, leave for at least a month. It's the chilli solids at the bottom of the jar I use for this recipe.
