Ingredients
- 1/4 c. tahini
- 2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. sriracha
- 1 tbsp. dark or light brown sugar
- 2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
- 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk to combine tahini, soy sauce, sriracha, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons water, until sauce reaches desired consistency. (It should be the consistency of pancake batter.)
- Optional: whisk in half of a ramen flavor packet, taste, and add more if desired. (Some brands’ flavor packets are saltier than others, so it’s best to start small.)
