Petunjuk

In a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds over low heat until fragrant and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Maintain a constant stir or swirl the seeds in the pan as they are cooking.

In a mortar and pestle, crush the toasted sesame seeds into a fine powder. (See Note)

In a blender, puree the ground sesame seeds with the miso, sugar, shoyu, mirin, vinegar, garlic and ¾ cup of water until smooth. The sauce should have the consistency of a salad dressing. Add more water, if needed. Scrape the sauce into a small bowl and stir in the sesame oil before serving.
