Ingredients

Instructions

  • Dry toast the white sesame seeds in a medium frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until nice and golden. Note: You can fry longer for a darker roast, however, it will be more bitter and nutty in flavour and aroma the longer you cook them.
    1 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • Move the sesame seeds around the pan every 30 seconds or so to make sure they’re evenly toasted.
  • Remove from the pan and allow to cool (around 5-10 minutes).
  • Optional: Use as a topping on miso ramen or tantanmen, grind to add to tonkatsu sauce, or make a quick sesame oil.
