Goma-Ae Recipe

Hello,

I am now placing Goma-Ae's sauce recipe up online today.


Ingredients:

Toasted Sesame Seed (white or black) 1/3 cup
Soy Sauce 1 tbsp.
Brown Sugar 1 tbsp.
Mirin 1 tbsp.
Salt 1/4 tsp.
Dashi 3~4 tbsp.


Directions:

1) In a Suribachi (Japanese mortar), put sesame seeds and grind untill their oil comes out.

2) Add all the other ingredients and mix well untill sugar is disolved and looks pasty.

* You can make the sauce with a food processor too. When you use a food processor, put sesame seeds in and pulse a few times and then add all other ingredients and blend it till pasty.


You can use this sauce with vegetables, but you also can dress up some noodles and seaweed with some veggies like this...

I tossed the sauce with Soba noodle, carrots, spinach, and Hijiki Seaweed. Make sure the creamy sesame sauce covered all ingredients evenly to be able to enjoy the full flavor in every bite.
