    Excellent dish! I actually couldn't find my sesame seeds and the floury coating was a little runny because I forgot I was halving the ingredients but this was still delicious. The sauce is very sweet and not something I'd make on a regular basis, but it goes a long way and is perfect for something a little more special than a soy sauce dip. I'll certainly be making this again. Thanks for sharing!
