Tips:
- Choose the right sesame seeds: For the best flavor, use hulled sesame seeds. These have had their outer shells removed, which makes them more tender and flavorful.
- Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds will bring out their nutty flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.
- Use good quality honey: The quality of the honey you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Use a honey that is thick and flavorful, such as buckwheat honey or Manuka honey.
- Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it is slightly thickened and bubbly. If you overcook it, it will become too thick and sticky.
- Serve the sauce immediately: The sauce is best served immediately after it is made. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, but the flavor will be best if you use it fresh.
