Instructions

1 ✓

In a dry frying pan, toast the sesame seeds over a medium heat, shaking continuously, until golden and fragrant. Pour onto a plate immediately.

Tip: If left in the hot pan, they may burn from the residual heat. (Thermal inertia).
2 ✓

Finely grate the ginger and garlic.

Tip: Fine grating ensures the flavour dissolves evenly in the sauce.
3 ✓

In a saucepan, mix the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, water, ginger and garlic.

Tip: Sesame oil has an intense flavour; use it as a seasoning, not for frying.
4 ✓

Boil together for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Tip: Boiling helps meld the flavours and soften the rawness of the garlic.
5 ✓

Finally, stir in the toasted sesame seeds and pepper. Serve warm or cold.

Tip: Toasted seeds add texture (crunch) to the sauce.
