Product Details

Kewpie is one of the most familiar names in the Japanese kitchen, a Tokyo company that has been making mayonnaise and dressings since the 1920s, and this is the bottle that carries its reputation abroad. The sesame is taken well past a light toast before it is ground, and that deep roast is what gives the dressing its color and its heavy nutty aroma. The texture is creamy rather than thin, closer to a pourable sauce than a vinaigrette.

Most people meet it on a wedge of iceberg or a pile of shredded cabbage, but it travels much further than salad. Use it as a dipping sauce for shabu-shabu or steamed dumplings, thin it slightly for cold noodles, spoon it over grilled chicken or a rice bowl, or set it out as a dip for cucumber spears and carrot sticks. It also works as a marinade for chicken thighs or pork before they hit the grill.

Two bottles is a sensible buy for a household that goes through it.

Tips And Common Mistakes

  • Thin it for noodles. Out of the bottle it is thick enough to coat lettuce. For noodles, loosen it with a spoon of water, rice vinegar or the noodle cooking water.
  • Do not heat it in the pan. The emulsion breaks and the sesame turns greasy. Add it after cooking or use it as a marinade that gets patted off.
  • Pair it with crunch. It is rich, so it wants cabbage, cucumber, radish, raw carrot or iceberg rather than soft greens.
  • Add acid if it feels heavy. A squeeze of lime or a splash of rice vinegar lifts it.
  • A little goes a long way. Start with less than you would with a vinaigrette and toss well.

Who It's For

  • Anyone who orders the sesame dressing at a Japanese restaurant and wants it at home
  • Cooks who want a creamy dressing that is not ranch
  • Lunch packers, since it turns leftover chicken and rice into a bowl worth eating
  • Two bottles suits a household that puts it on everything, which is most households once they try it

Recipes to Make

Japanese Sesame Cabbage Slaw

4 servingsPrep 10 min
Ingredients
  • 4 cups very thinly sliced green or napa cabbage
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Steps
  1. Toss the cabbage, carrot and scallions in a bowl.
  2. Add the dressing and vinegar and toss until every shred is coated.
  3. Scatter sesame seeds on top and serve right away, or chill up to 2 hours for a softer slaw.
Tip: Slice the cabbage as thin as you can. Thin shreds hold the dressing; thick ones shed it.

Cold Sesame Noodles

2 servingsPrep 10 minCook 8 min
Ingredients
  • 6 oz soba, udon or spaghetti
  • 1/3 cup Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 cucumber, cut in matchsticks
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • Chili crisp and sesame seeds to serve
  • Shredded cooked chicken or soft tofu, optional
Steps
  1. Cook the noodles, drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain well.
  2. Whisk the dressing with the water and soy sauce until pourable.
  3. Toss the noodles with the sauce, then top with cucumber, scallions, chili crisp and sesame seeds.
  4. Add chicken or tofu to make it a meal.
Tip: Rinsing the noodles cold is what keeps them springy instead of gummy.

Sesame Chicken Rice Bowl

2 servingsPrep 10 minCook 12 min
Ingredients
  • 2 boneless chicken thighs
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 3 tbsp Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing
  • Sesame seeds and sliced scallion
Steps
  1. Season the chicken and cook in the oil over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Rest 3 minutes and slice.
  2. Divide the rice between two bowls and top with the lettuce, avocado and cucumber.
  3. Lay the sliced chicken on top and drizzle the dressing over everything.
  4. Finish with sesame seeds and scallion.
Tip: Any leftover protein works: rotisserie chicken, salmon, fried tofu or a soft-boiled egg.

Questions About This Product

The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.

Is it vegan?
No. It contains egg yolk. It is vegetarian.
Is it gluten free?
No. The soy sauce in it is brewed with wheat.
Is this the famous Kewpie goma dressing?
Yes. Goma means sesame in Japanese, and this deep roasted sesame dressing is the one people mean when they talk about Kewpie goma dressing.
Is it spicy?
No. It is nutty, creamy and a little sweet with no heat at all. Add chili oil at the table if you want some.
Why is it so thick and brown?
The sesame is roasted dark and ground into the dressing, which gives it the color and the body. Shake well, since it settles and separates a little between uses.
How long does an open bottle last?
Refrigerated with the cap tight, about 2 months of good flavor. Go by the date on the bottle.
