You can chill the blanched vegetables in ice water or refrigerate them, then add the sauce just before serving. This is a perfect summer side dish with a Japanese twist.

Black sesame paste is very aromatic and unsweetened, making it versatile for many recipes. It's a great staple sauce for the family.
