How to Make Sesame Sauce (Goma Dare)

3 to 4 Tbsp Japanese sesame paste (neri goma) (use less for Homemade Sesame Paste or a thick sesame paste like Wadaman brand; use more for a thin and smooth sesame paste like Kadoya brand or tahini; you can make my Homemade Sesame Paste)

4 tsp sugar

1 Tbsp soy sauce

4 tsp rice vinegar (unseasoned)

2 Tbsp dashi (Japanese soup stock) (I used a dashi packet; or use standard Awase Dashi, dashi powder, or Vegan Dashi; a strong, concentrated dashi makes a more flavorful and delicious sauce)

⅛ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
