⚠️ Soy
⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

Grate the garlic and ginger.

Tip: Grating gives a more intense flavor than chopping.
2 ✓

Heat the sesame oil over medium heat and sauté the ginger and garlic. Be careful not to burn it!

Tip: Sesame oil's flavor deepens with heat.
3 ✓

Add the tomato purée, water, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Whisk until smooth.

Tip: Water helps dissolve the purée so it doesn't scorch while flavors meld.
4 ✓

Simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: A short cook time is enough because the ingredients are already 'ready'.
5 ✓

You can sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving for texture.

Tip: Crunchy seeds elevate the creamy sauce.

Recipe FAQ

It became too salty.
The salt content of tomato purée varies, plus soy is salty. Always taste before adding extra salt! If the damage is done, a little sugar or water can help.
Can I use fresh tomatoes?
Yes, but you'll have to cook them much longer to thicken. You save time with purée.
