Golden Sesame Paste

Golden sesame paste is made from finely ground, toasted golden sesame seeds, resulting in a smooth, creamy texture and a rich, nutty flavor. Compared to tahini made from white sesame seeds, this paste has a deeper, more robust taste and a golden hue. It’s an essential ingredient in many Asian cuisines and a versatile addition to sweet and savory recipes alike.

Stir it into noodle sauces, salad dressings, or marinades, or blend it with soy sauce and vinegar for a classic sesame dipping sauce. It also adds depth to desserts like sesame cookies, ice cream, or sweet buns.
