Instructions
- 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.

Once lightly browned, remove the sesame seeds (1 tbsp) from heat and transfer to a small mixing bowl.
- 3
Peel and grate fresh ginger root (1.5 tsp). Fresh ginger enhances the flavor significantly.
- 4
Mince the minced garlic (1 tbsp). Using a garlic press is recommended for the best, freshest flavor.
- 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.
