Hot Oriental Dipping Sauce

2 servings

• 1 Tablespoon tamari soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil *
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon chili oil
• 1/4 teaspoon honey
• 1 Tablespoon water

Whisk together all ingredients. Serve as a dipping sauce with such items as chicken nuggets, vegetarian chick nuggets, steamed veggies, etc.

* I searched all over the place and finally found toasted sesame oil (or dark sesame oil) at my local Health Food Store. Made from toasted sesame seeds, this thick, rich oil is golden to dark brown in color and marvelously aromatic. As opposed to sesame oils, the toasted variety is used as a seasoning only.

Bon appetit!
