This was posted by krrispy in December and just got to it last night. I had some teriyaki chicken and wanted something with an Asian flavor to accompany it and had all the ingredients on hand so I made it and glad I did because it is very good. Not too vinegary, not too sweet, just a nice pleasing oriental flavor to it. A keeper as far as I'm concerned.

*The only thing I will change next time is to cut the sesame seeds down to 2 teaspoons because there were way too many floating on top. I’m looking forward to the leftovers tonight. Thanks krrispy for sharing this one. I have copied lot’s of your recipes so we must have similar taste buds. ~Jan~
