In the meantime peel and finely chop garlic and ginger. Finely chop dried chilis and slice mint into thin strips. Roast sesame seeds in a frying pan until they are fragrant and golden brown.

Heat remaining sesame oil in a small pot. Add ginger and garlic and fry over medium heat for approx. 2 – 3 min. Add chili paste and keep frying for approx. 2 min. Add dried chilis, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar and let the mixture simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool down.
