    Can substitute a combination of tahini and roasted sesame oil for Chinese sesame paste and shoyu for light soy sauce.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Thought this would be a slam dunk based on the flavors. I thought it was good but it had a gritty texture from the sesame that my husband couldn't stand - one of the few things he couldn't get more than a bite or two of.

    Made exactly as written with sesame paste. Wonderful flavors melded together. I will use this on cucumber salad, tomatoes and pasta salads.
