Sounds good, but perhaps it would be best to leave out the honey altogether? How about replacing it with a mix of rice wine vinegar and sesame oil? (I reckon id o put a few slivers of ginger in also ) .. I’m sure that not going to be authentic though..
Perfect supplement to your main course or on its own as a starter, this simple Japanese recipe is delicious and fresh in your eyes. You may use the sesame seeds out of a packet if you are short of time, but roasting brings such an intense aroma it is worth spending extra 5 minutes. When you finish roasting, I’ll just wipe the surface of the frying pan with a kitchen towel, then put it away. Easy!
