Since last year, I've been measuring out well-received recipes that I used to make without measuring.I'm recording them here for myself and for my friends.If using store-bought men-tsuyu, refer to the dilutions mentioned in Steps 4 and 5. Otherwise, the taste will be different. Be sure to thoroughly squeeze out excess water from the vegetables before combining with the sesame sauce.I recommend combining the vegetables and sauce right before serving. Recipe by *ai*

Dress salad, steamed chicken, cold tofu etc. with this all-purpose sesame sauce. Make a lot and store it in a fridge. No additives, so it can be a save sauce for children!#Japanese #Chinese #Sesame #vegan

I thought of a sesame sauce for ramen noodle salads and bang bang chicken.The sauce is pretty sweet, so adjust the sugar as you taste.If you plan to serve this to children, replace the sake for water as you won't burn off the alcohol. Recipe by 1630412

I was able to survive 7 years of making bentos for my children with this mix. Frozen goma-ae (cooked vegetables with sesame sauce) becomes wet by the time it thaws, and the flavors dissipate so it's no good! But making goma-ae for bento every time is a bother and you're likely to have awkward amounts left over. This sesame-sauce base is perfect for families with those kinds of problems.I'd always made this by eyeballing the ingredients, but I tried measuring things out properly this time. And what do you know - the ratio is quite easy to remember. This mixture is on the sweet side, so please use this as a starting point and adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar. It has almost no moisture in it, so if you put it in a container with a hermetically sealed lid or a jar with a a screwtop lid, you can even store it at room temperature.

I came up with a great way to use regular vinegar & sesame sauce. By adding just one seasoning, you can do so much more with it. You can just eat it with fried food, or you can use it to season stir-fries and Japanese dishes!Step 1 is an important step when you use mirin. Not only are you boiling away the alcohol, you are also bringing out its flavor. This extra step is very important!*Depending on the saucepan, using high heat might cause the alcohol to catch on fire like a flambé, so cook on medium heat! Recipe by Mizkan

I came up with this recipe when I didn't have sesame paste, but it turned out to be creamier and more delicious than sesame sauce made with sesame paste. For about 90 ml. Recipe by FarmersK

I came up with this original sesame sauce with my husband. We add miso to the sauce.Miso is the key ingredient, but you should only add a very small amount. It's just about enough if you don't really notice the flavor of the miso right away.Once I created this recipe, this sauce has become a regular feature in our household. You can make a really nice meal out of somen noodles thanks to this sauce.This is great for udon noodles too. Recipe by wakwaksan

I love goma-ae (dishes with sesame sauce) so I make a lot of them and keep it on hand.As long as you have some ground sesame seeds, all you need to do is mix. There's no sugar added, so use a sweet type of mirin.When using the sauce the mirin will have sunk to the bottom, so mix it up well. Recipe by miffy77

Instead of just replicating the store-bought flavor, I modified it to our family's taste.This tastes best when made with sesame seeds that have been roasted to the point where they're exuding oil, but you can make this with unroasted ground sesame seeds too.A food processor is handy for this recipe, as well as commercial sesame paste.You can thin the sauce with milk, which makes it mild and delicious.However, if you make it too thin it'll too bland when you combine it with the dashi stock in the pot, so watch out for that.

My friend told me about the ingredients for this sauce nearly 20 years ago.I also serve mentsuyu alongside this sauce to give my family more choice.You can also add shiso leaf or myoga ginger. Recipe by myukitty

I make this sesame sauce every time we have Shabu-shabu. I adjusted the amounts of sesame paste, miso, dashi, and ended up with this recipe.Mix [B] little by little. If it's cool, it won't mix well, so please warm it up by microwave and mix into [A] . Recipe by FarmersK

I had this sauce at a tonkatsu restaurant 15 years ago.If you're using a mini mortar to grind the sesame seeds, you could directly pour the sauce in.You could also pour the sauce over the tonkatsu and then sprinkle the sesame on top. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
