Sesame Sauce Posted by Tiffany at on 2/6/2002, 9:29 am This condiment-style sauce, adapted from Bruce Cost's Asian Ingredients, brings the flavor of toasted sesame seeds to batter-fried foods or steamed dumplings. 2 tablespoons sesame paste from a jar     (or creamy peanut butter in a pinch) 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine) or dry sherry 1 tablespoon white rice vinegar 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 to 1/3 cup chicken broth 2 teaspoons finely chopped scallions In a saucepan, combine the sesame paste, mirin, vinegar, salt, pepper and broth. Mix vigorously. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Stir in scallions. Good with grilled meats or tofu and rice.
