Tarragon Ginger Sesame Sauce
Sesame sauce is traditionally a staple seasoning in Asian cuisine, often used for noodles, meats, or as a dipping sauce. In this special recipe, the distinctive flavor of sesame is complemented by the freshness of ginger and the mildly anise-like aroma of tarragon, creating a unique flavor profile. The sweet and salty balance of soy sauce and honey adds perfect harmony to this tangy sauce. It's a perfect choice for grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or even rice and pasta dishes.
