Total time: 15 min

Ingredients: 3 tablespoons (45 ml) white sesame seeds (see note); 3 tablespoons (45 ml) Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise (see note); 3 tablespoons (45 ml) neutral flavoured oil (I use avocado oil cuz it's healthy and neutral. If you really want to you can probably use olive oil, but not the extra virgin one cuz that has a strong flavour. You can always try though!); 1 ½ tablespoons (22.5 ml) Japanese soy sauce; 1 tablespoons (15 ml) rice vinegar; 2 teaspoons (10 ml) mirin (optional, see note); 2-3 teaspoons honey or brown sugar (10-15 ml), or sub a sweetener of your choice; ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) toasted sesame oil; Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
