Instructions
Toast your sesame seeds in a dry skillet or frying pan over medium high heat until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.
Combine toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, ground mustard ( mixed with 1 teaspoon water ) and garlic powder in a blender or food processor bowl. Combine until smooth, about 15 - 30 seconds.
In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to low heat and add the blended sesame seed, soy, and mustard mixture. Continue to cook for about 2 - 3 minutes, or until completely heated through, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and serve warm.
Notes
Don't skip toasting the sesame seeds! The flavor intensifies when toasted and gives the mustard sauce its distinct flavor.
Only warm the cream over low heat. If you try to rush things by turning up the heat, your cream could curdle.
I find that the prime time to serve this sauce is after it has been refrigerated overnight and the flavors have had a chance to meld. It's still perfectly tasty fresh off the stove, though!
