Sesame Tomato Garlic Sauce
Tomato sauce is one of the most well-known staples of Italian cuisine, but when combined with Asian flavors, it gains a new and exciting dimension. Sesame Tomato Garlic Sauce is a modern, international variation that combines the nutty aroma of sesame oil with the freshness of tomatoes and the intense flavor of garlic. As the aroma of garlic and ginger sizzling in sesame oil fills the kitchen, preparing this dish becomes a true experience. The secret to this sauce lies in the balanced use of soy sauce and rice vinegar, which add depth and acidity to the flavors. This sauce is the perfect choice for pasta, grilled vegetables, or even meat dishes, adding a special Asian twist to everyday meals.

Sautéing: In a medium saucepan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn them.
