  • 2 tablespoons neutral flavored oil such as vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon (1-2 cloves) minced garlic

Instructions

  • Reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Saute for about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn your garlic.
  • Stir through the vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, and sesame seeds.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and simmer for about 1 minute, or until the sauce slightly thickens. (see note 1). Taste for seasoning and adjust as desired.
  • Turn off heat and remove pan from heat. Serve with your choice of rice, or pasta, sprinkled with lightly toasted sesame seeds, roughly chopped fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes.

Notes

  1.  If you find the sauce is too thick, add a bit of water and stir through.
