I'm pretty sure this was the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth. I thought with all the great reviews, I'd be along with the concensus, I have made several Asian vegetable dishes & reviewed most very highly. The ground up sesame seed consistency was unappealing both visually & taste. So, I won't be making this one again, but I can say I tried it. <br/>I was able to savage the dish by rinsing the beans off, placing them in the crock pot with some ham, beans, onions & potatoes. Fortunately, it wasn't a total loss. Thanks for sharing.

This was quite a different asparagus dish and delicious! I left the sugar out other than that made it as instructed. The sesame seeds were a delight, made a great sauce. We will be makeing this again, probably often. (It went really well with your grlic and sage lamb racks.) Thanks for sharing. June 20/09 made this wonderful salad for a dinner party, it was a huge success! I had no regular sesame seeds , I subed with black sesame seeds, they were wonderful ! it is a delightfully crisp salad.
