Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast sesame seeds (1 tbsp) in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat for about minutes (3). They will turn golden brown and begin popping. Do not leave unattended to prevent burning.

  2. 2

    Once lightly browned, remove the sesame seeds (1 tbsp) from heat and transfer to a small mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Peel and grate fresh ginger root (1.5 tsp). Fresh ginger enhances the flavor significantly.

  4. 4

    Mince the minced garlic (1 tbsp). Using a garlic press is recommended for the best, freshest flavor.

  5. 5

    Add all remaining ingredients: tahini (0.5 tsp), soy sauce (3 tbsp), sweetener (2 tbsp), and water (1 tbsp) to the bowl with the toasted sesame seeds (1 tbsp). Whisk thoroughly to combine.

  6. 6

    This versatile sweet umami sauce can be used in stir-fries, as a marinade for plant-based proteins like tofu, to season veggie poke bowls, or as a delicious salad dressing.
