Ingredients: a teaspoon of honey, two teaspoons of quality soy sauce (for example, Bionica Organic Market’s Bio Tamari Soy Sauce, lime, 4 tablespoons of sesame oil, a quarter chilli if desired, and a handful of sesame seeds.
Preparation:
Dilute honey in a little hot drinking water, add soy sauce, sesame oil, squeeze out the lime juice (before cutting the lime in half, roll it on the table, pressing hard with your palm: this will make the juice squeeze out easier). Mix everything thoroughly. For a spicier sauce, add finely chopped chili peppers. And for beauty – sesame seeds.
