1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
2 scallions (white and tender green parts), thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oil, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and scallions, stirring to blend. Diva Do-Ahead: At this point, you can cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
