I used more maple syrup,and substituted hot seasme oil for plain while omitting the chile powder. I also used both cider and rice vinegar. The mixture needed to be thinned with water but was the best cold sesame sauce i have tried. Thanks Missy

A very tasty side for 3 of us I used 5oz udon noodles and scaled the rest of the ingredient accordingly, love the addition of the maple syrup and the cider vinegar, I used peanut butter and to help blend it together I gave it a quick 15 second zap in the microwave, I didn't use the coriander as we don't really care for it that much but everything else was done as per recipe, thank you Missy Wombat, made for Name that Ingredient tag game.
