Notes
The beauty of this sauce is that there is zero chance you can really put whatever ingredients that you see fit. Once your sesame oil, garlic, cilantro and soy sauce are mixed together, you've got your base.
Spice it up or add other flavours, but keep in mind the veg and meat coming out of the hot pot are a little wet, so this "paste" will become much more liquid over time.
Rich flavour is good. Believe in yourself.
