Sesame Sauce
This condiment-style sauce, adapted from Bruce Cost's Asian ingredients , brings the flavor of toasted sesame seeds to batter-fried foods or steamed dumplings.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame paste from a jar (or creamy peanut butter in a pinch)
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine) or dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon white rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 to 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped scallions
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the sesame paste, mirin, vinegar, salt, pepper and broth. Mix vigorously. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir 1 to 2 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in scallions.
Good with grilled meats or tofu and rice.
