Simple and tasty! I served with rice and marinated tofu. This sauce could really go with any vegetable - broccoli, snow peas, green beans, etc. I did find it a bit salty so next time I might cut back a bit on my broth or soy sauce. Thanks!

I loved this! I did forget to sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds, but it was delicious even without them. This was very quick and easy to make, and tastes wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
