Cooking tips

  • Mixing sesame oil into the sauce beforehand can mute its nutty aroma. Be sure to add it separately when tossing the greens just before serving to preserve its rich fragrance.
  • Instead of adding whole sesame seeds, crushing them finely in a mortar and pestle to make sesame seeds allows the nutty oil and flavor to spread evenly throughout the sauce.
  • You can substitute anchovy fish sauce with other fish sauces you have at home, such as sand lance fish sauce or tuna extract.
  • If you make a large batch of the sauce in advance and it becomes too thick over time, add a little fish sauce or water to adjust to your desired consistency before using.
