Notes
We recommend using organic ingredients when possible.
Extra virgin olive oil can be used, just be careful to keep the pan temperature low enough that the oil doesn’t smoke. I personally like using avocado oil for it’s high smoke point and great taste.
To toast raw sesame seeds heat in small pan over medium low heat for 3-5 minutes. Seeds will burn quickly so watch them closely and stir frequently.
If you don’t have rice vinegar, feel free to substitute a white vinegar or cider vinegar.
For a little extra flavor add a 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest right before taking off the stove or as garnish.
