You can get the standard taste with just one teaspoon.I recommend using coarsely ground sesame seeds, not finely ground.That produces the right degree of absorption of soy sauce and texture.An easy-to-remember proportion of ingredients: 2 tbs, 2 tsp., 2 tsp. (or 6 tsp, 2 tsp, 2 tsp.)!In other words, with any spoon size, you can use a ratio of 3:1:1. Recipe by Maruchiwawa

I want something green in my bento every day, and wanted to use cabbage instead of spinach to make it.The sesame will be nice and aromatic if you toast it in a pan over a medium heat for 30 seconds.Keep an eye on the cabbage in the microwave.

It's best to slowly roast each side.Even when cool, these are delicous and cute little rolls that go perfectly in a bento lunch box. For 9 rolls. Recipe by Yusase mama
