If you use peanut oil, it will give it a strong peanut flavor (which I love), but it may not be for everyone. If you’d like to have a peanut flavor but don’t have peanut oil on hand, you can throw in a tbsp or two of creamy peanut butter to the mix.

fresh ginger and garlic is the best, but you can also use dry ingredients if you don’t have them on hand.

I buy sesame seeds that are already toasted, but if yours aren’t, you can simply roast them in a pan with a little butter or oil on low to medium heat.

Honey is an excellent addition to this recipe if you’re not watching your sugar.
