- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

- Mix Well: Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional, but it improves the taste of the sauce.
