Instructions

1 ✓

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast sesame seeds while shaking constantly until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a plate immediately.

Tip: If left in the hot pan, residual heat will burn them.
2 ✓

Finely grate the ginger and garlic.

Tip: Fine grating ensures flavor dissolves evenly into the sauce.
3 ✓

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

Tip: Sesame oil is intense; use it as a flavoring, not a cooking oil.
4 ✓

Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Tip: Simmering melds the flavors and mellows the raw garlic.
5 ✓

Stir in the toasted sesame seeds and pepper. Serve warm or cold.

Tip: Toasted seeds add crunch and texture.
