It tastes good, but why does mine come out so dark?

It may be the mustard that you used.

This might be a silly question, but did you use low sodium soy sauce? I just made it and it is soooo salty.
Reply
Stephanie
You can use low sodium soy sauce if you like.

What if you don’t have a blender? Would it taste alright mixed or should I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?
Reply
Stephanie
I would just chop the garlic very fine. Fresh tastes better than powdered.

I want to try this but am out of the mustard powder, can i use a dijon or regular mustard?
ThanksPS I have three starred this recipe but will re-evaluate it after I try the recipe, I am sure I will love it.

Stephanie
I don’t know that either would work well. I would err on the dijon side, but I don’t think it will be a good match.

Why would you rate a recipe you didn’t make? 3 Stars: That is rude. I made it as specified, and it was great.
Reply
Debbie
I agree, why would you star it if you didn’t even try it.
Kels
For the same reason that others rate recipes 5 stars without trying them first.

Allowing this to sit in the frig for a couple of days transforms the harshness into a terrific sauce that I wanted on everything.Reply

It’s amazing how mellow it turns.

To get a thicker sauce, blend the sesame seeds for a minute turning it into a fine powder first. For a really thick sauce, blend till a powder, a TBS of pecans or walnuts.
Stephanie
This is a great idea. I will give it a try soon.
Tracy
That was a great idea and it made it thick. Thanks.
Hey hank god I read th comments first.

How long do you leave it to sit before you eat it? 🙂
I would let it set for about 30 minutes or so before you eat it. ~StephanieReply
