creamy sesame sauce

A little salty, a little sweet, and packed with sesame flavour, this sauce - and it’s really more of a sauce than a dressing in consistency - punches well, well, well above its weight for such a short list of basic ingredients. One mouthful and you’ll be forever hooked! Drizzle over lettuce, as is traditional, or just use for dunking raw vegetables (I do this a LOT). This is a copycat of a side salad at some of our favourite Sydney Sichuan restaurants like Spicy Joint, and Chongqing Noodles.

Spicy Joint's Creamy Sesame Sauce with Lettuce Salad

tbsp Chinese sesame paste ((Note 1))

peanut butter ((Note 2))

tsp white sugar

tsp salt

tbsp oyster sauce ((Note 3))

tbsp sesame oil (, toasted (ie brown, not yellow))

tsp dark soy sauce ((Note 4))

water ((or more))

baby cos lettuce

sesame seeds

Separate, wash, trim and dry lettuce leaves. Slice any large ones in half vertically. Leave smaller leaves whole.

Sauce: Mix all ingredients except water together in a bowl. Start by mixing in 3 tbsp water, a tablespoon at a time. Let the sauce sit for one minute. If the sauce starts to split, or the sauce is too thick, add another tablespoon of water. Keep doing this until you have a pourable / drizzle-able sauce that is emulsified (ie. oil is not separated).

Arrange leaves on platter, drizzle around half of the dressing over or so. You will NOT need all the dressing; keep the rest for something else. Garnish with sesame seeds. (Alternative: just use to dip in raw veg. It is SO good!)

Honey Teriyaki Glazed Salmon

salmon

tbsp honey

soy sauce

tbsp minced garlic

mayonnaise

tsp toasted sesame oil

green onion (thinly sliced)

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together honey, soy sauce and garlic in a small bowl.

Arrange salmon filets on baking sheet (skin side down if it has skin) and brush with half the teriyaki glaze.  Bake for 6 minutes, brush with remaining glaze, then continue baking until salmon reaches 125ºF internal temperature (or flakes easily with a fork); about 6-9 minutes  more.

To make creamy sesame sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise and sesame oil. Drizzle over salmon and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
