Goma-dare (sesame sauce)

Ingredients

75g white sesame seeds
10ml (2 tsp) castor sugar
15ml (1 tbsp) soya sauce
5ml (1 tsp) sake
5ml (1 tsp) mirin
dashi: mix 90ml water with 5ml (1 tsp) instant dashi powder
1 small bunch chives, chopped

Instructions

Roast the sesame seeds in a dry pan until fragrant – watch them so they don’t burn. Remove immediately and grind with a pestle and mortar. Add the sugar and continue grinding until you have a paste. Add the soya sauce, sake, mirin and dashi. Mix and store until needed. To serve, top with chives.
