My ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce is good with a variety of Vegetables and Mushrooms. As it is so easy to make, I often make a ‘Goma-ae’ dish when I need an extra dish for dinner. This Carrot & Tuna ‘Goma-ae’ is a great option as I always have the ingredients.

Steps

1

Grind Toasted Sesame Seeds, OR use the trick ‘How To Grind Sesame Seeds Using A Plastic Bag’. Add Sugar and Soy Sauce and mix well to make ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce.
2

Heat Sesame Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Carrots for a few minutes. Add 1 pinch Salt and Chilli Flakes, stir, and remove from the heat while they are still crunchy.
3

*Note: You can blanch Carrot in slightly salted water instead of stir-frying. In that case, Sesame Oil and Chilli Flakes can be added to ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce.
4

Combine Carrot, drained Tuna and ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce.
