   调配酱汁

   Combine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame paste, sesame oil, white sugar, oyster sauce, and minced garlic in a bowl. Stir until fully blended and smooth.

   ⏱3 min

   • 💡 If the sesame paste is too thick, thin it out gradually by adding a little sesame oil or cool boiled water at a time.芝麻酱如果太稠，可以分次少量加入香油或凉白开泄开。
