Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce good quality
- 3 teaspoons sesame paste available in Asian markets and most supermarkets these days
- ½ tablespoon hoisin sauce
- ½ tablespoon sugar to taste
- 1 dash hot chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine I like Mirin, a Japanese sweet rice wine
- ½ tablespoon water good chance you'll be cooking noodles with this dressing, so here's your source, boiling
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted, optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, sesame paste, hoisin sauce, sugar, chili hot sauce and rice wine together.
- Add the hot water and continue whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved. If you are opting for toasted sesame seeds, stir them in now.
- Taste and adjust seasonings to your personal liking.
- This dressing tastes better when chilled. Cover the bowl or transfer the dressing into a glass jar and refrigerate until you are ready to use it.
