  • 3 teaspoons sesame paste available in Asian markets and most supermarkets these days
  • ½ tablespoon hoisin sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, sesame paste, hoisin sauce, sugar, chili hot sauce and rice wine together.
  2. 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.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings to your personal liking.
  4. 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.
