Goma dare, a versatile Japanese sauce, is made by toasting and grinding sesame from scratch, then balancing it with dashi. This challenging but rewarding sauce can be served over boiled eggs at breakfast, as a vegetable dip in a lunchbox, or as a chilled late-night snack dip.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Toast the Sesame

8 min

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 8 minutes, until golden and fragrant.

2

Make the Dashi

10 min

Steep kombu and katsuobushi in boiling water, then strain to make dashi.

3

Grind the Sesame

7 min

Grind the toasted sesame seeds in a mortar until they form a smooth paste.

4

Combine the Sauce

10 min

Whisk the sesame paste with the dashi, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar until smooth.

Reminder

Watch the sesame closely as it toasts; it can burn quickly. Allergens: contains sesame, soy (soy sauce), and fish (katsuobushi). Additional allergen check: check the product label for gluten in the soy sauce. Ingredients may vary by product.

Susamı kavururken tavadan hiç ayrılmadım ve tam sekiz dakikada güzel bir koku almaya başladı, dövünce de pürüzsüz bir macun elde ettim. Soğuk somen eriştesinin üzerine gezdirdiğimde ailem gerçekten çok beğendi, artık her hafta yapıyorum.
