Oriental-Style Salad Dressing

This will keep refrigerated for several weeks, so make a quadruple batch and store it for future use.

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sherry (optional)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Freshly-ground pepper, to taste

Whisk together all ingredients. Refrigerate.

Makes about 1/2 cup to serve 4 to 6.
