My ‘Creamy Sesame Dressing’ goes well with many Vegetables, but particularly good with Spinach. The other day I made this salad using leftover Boiled Eggs, and it was so good. I made it again to take this photo. This is how I made it.

Tips

How To Grind Sesame Seeds Using A Plastic Bag

Toast the sesame seeds first. I recommend to use a saucepan rather than a frying pan. Place raw sesame seeds in a saucepan, heat over medium heat, and keep shaking and tossing until light golden. The hot saucepan will keep cooking even after being removed from the heat and turn the seeds golden. Allow to cool.

Water & Energy Saving Boiled Eggs

There are many different methods to cook Boiled Eggs, and you probably have your own method. This is an energy-saving method you might be interested in. You only need a small amount of Water and cooking time is 5 minutes regardless of the saucepan size and number of Eggs to cook. And Eggs can be soft to hard as you like.
