Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the 4 tbsp sesame paste, 2 tbsp chili oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sugar. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Step 2
Gradually add the 2 tbsp water, stirring constantly, until the sauce reaches a pourable, creamy consistency. Add more water a teaspoon at a time if too thick.
Step 3
Taste and adjust seasoning: add a pinch of salt or extra chili oil if you prefer more heat. The sauce should be savory, tangy, and spicy.
Step 4
Sprinkle the 1 tsp sesame seeds over the top just before serving. Use as a dip for dumplings, a sauce for noodles, or a dressing for blanched greens.
