Caramelize the sugar in a small saucepan. Once it has melted, add the sesame seeds and toast them lightly. Don’t let the sugar over-brown. Once the sugar has caramelized, deglaze with the water and bring to a boil. Then add all the remaining ingredients to the pan and let it reduce for about 5 minutes. Done. We usually use this sauce for fried rice with vegetables and egg.
